DDoS
Distributed Denial of Service
A DDoS attack floods a target server, service, or network with traffic from many distributed sources to exhaust its resources and make it unavailable. Attackers use botnets, amplification techniques, and protocol-level exploits to generate massive traffic volumes.
Cómo se usa en ciberseguridad
SOC analysts monitor traffic baselines and trigger DDoS mitigation when volumetric anomalies appear. Security engineers configure rate limiting, traffic scrubbing, and CDN-based DDoS protection to absorb attack traffic. Incident responders coordinate with ISPs and upstream providers during active DDoS attacks to restore service availability.
