DDoS Protection refers to measures taken to defend against Distributed Denial of Service attacks, where multiple compromised systems flood a target with excessive traffic. This overwhelming influx can disrupt services, making websites or online applications unavailable to legitimate users. To combat these attacks, organizations use various strategies, including traffic filtering, rate limiting, and deploying firewalls or intrusion detection systems. These tools help identify and block malicious traffic while allowing normal user access, ensuring that services remain operational even during an attack.
