💡 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.
💡 Satellite Internet Security
Satellite internet introduces unique security challenges including high latency that affects real-time threat detection, shared bandwidth that enables traffic sniffing, and coverage areas that cross multiple jurisdictions complicating legal response.
