DDoS Mitigation is the process of detecting, mitigating, and preventing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks targeting networks, servers, or online services by deploying proactive defense mechanisms, traffic filtering techniques, and traffic diversion strategies. DDoS mitigation solutions employ a combination of network-based and application-based defenses, such as rate limiting, traffic scrubbing, IP filtering, anomaly detection, traffic diversion through DDoS protection services or content delivery networks (CDNs), and cloud-based traffic management platforms, to absorb, block, or mitigate malicious traffic, ensuring uninterrupted availability and performance of critical infrastructure and services during DDoS attacks.
