DDoS defense

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is a cyber attack where multiple systems flood a target with traffic, overwhelming it and causing service disruption.

Three common solutions to prevent DDoS attacks:

  • Using DDoS Protection Services such as Cloudflare, Akamai, and AWS Shield
  • Deploying Firewalls and Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS)
