Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are becoming larger and more sophisticated. Traditional firewalls are no longer enough.
1. Volumetric vs. Application Layer Attacks
Understanding the difference is key. Volumetric attacks aim to saturate bandwidth, while Layer 7 attacks target specific application vulnerabilities.
2. Anycast Routing
By using Anycast, we can diffuse attack traffic across our global network, preventing any single PoP from being overwhelmed.
3. Rate Limiting
Intelligent rate limiting can block malicious bots while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through unaffected.
