A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a type of cyber attack that involves flooding a website or network with traffic in an attempt to make it unavailable to users. DDoS attacks are a serious threat to businesses and organizations, as they can cause significant disruption and financial loss.

To protect against DDoS attacks, you can use a DDoS protection service. These services monitor your network for signs of an attack and use various techniques to absorb or redirect the incoming traffic, helping to keep your website or network available to legitimate users.

There are several types of DDoS protection services available, including cloud-based services, on-premises appliances, and hybrid solutions. Some common features of DDoS protection services include:

• Traffic analysis and monitoring: This helps identify traffic patterns and anomalies that may indicate an attack is underway.

• Traffic filtering: This involves blocking traffic from known malicious sources or traffic that exhibits certain characteristics (e.g., a high volume of requests in a short period of time).

• Traffic redirection: This involves redirecting incoming traffic to a server or network that is specifically designed to absorb large amounts of traffic.

• Capacity management: This involves scaling up capacity to absorb the traffic of an attack and prevent it from reaching your network or website.

There are also best practices you can follow to reduce your risk of being targeted by a DDoS attack, such as securing your network infrastructure, monitoring your logs, and implementing a security plan.
