Network monitoring : Use tools such as Tripla and Cloudflare solutions to continuously monitor network traffic and identify anomalies that may indicate an ongoing DDoS attack.
Packet filters : Implement filters that block malicious traffic before it reaches servers. Properly configured filters can reject suspicious packets based on attributes such as IP address or traffic patterns.
WAF (Web Application Firewall) : Setting up a WAF is crucial to protecting web applications from application layer attacks. Cloudflare's WAF is especially effective at filtering malicious requests, blocking attacks peru mobile database they reach the application server.
Vulnerability Management : Keeping systems updated with the latest security patches is essential to minimize the chances of a successful DDoS attack.
Detection
IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems) : Implement IDSs that monitor the network for abnormal or known traffic patterns that may indicate a DDoS attack.
Log Analysis : Regularly review system and network logs to identify patterns or anomalies that may indicate preparation for an attack.
Response
Incident Response Plan : Develop and test a detailed incident response plan that includes protocols for internal and external communication, and mitigation procedures.
Response Team : Clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the incident response team, ensuring everyone knows what to do during a DDoS attack.
Mitigation : Use techniques such as blackholing, rate limiting, and scrubbing centers to reduce the impact of the attack. Cloudflare Magic Transit, for example, can redirect and filter traffic before it reaches the company network.
