Security Intelligence
💡 DDoS Mitigation Approaches
Distributed denial of service attacks overwhelm infrastructure with traffic volume. Effective mitigation combines always-on traffic scrubbing, anycast network distribution, rate limiting, and the ability to quickly scale absorption capacity during attacks.
💡 Supply Chain Security Challenges
Attacks targeting software supply chains compromise trusted update mechanisms to distribute malware at scale. Dependency confusion, typosquatting in package registries, and compromised build pipelines threaten even organizations with strong direct security postures.
