Description: Flood protection, in the context of cybersecurity, refers to the measures implemented to prevent or mitigate the effects of flooding attacks on a network. These attacks, known as DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service), aim to overwhelm a system with an excessive volume of traffic, which can lead to service disruption and the inoperability of online resources. Flood protection involves the use of various techniques and tools, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and specific mitigation solutions that can identify and filter malicious traffic before it reaches its target. These measures are essential to maintain the availability and integrity of online services, especially in an environment where businesses increasingly rely on digital connectivity. Implementing an effective flood protection strategy not only helps safeguard digital assets but also protects the organization’s reputation and customer trust. In a world where DDoS attacks are becoming more common and sophisticated, flood protection has become a critical component of the security infrastructure for any organization operating in the digital realm.
