Description: Performance metrics are indicators used to evaluate the effectiveness of DDoS protection measures. These metrics allow organizations to measure their systems’ ability to withstand distributed denial-of-service attacks, which aim to saturate a server or network’s resources, making them inaccessible to legitimate users. Metrics may include the number of blocked requests, response time during an attack, success rate of mitigation measures, and impact on service availability. By analyzing these metrics, organizations can identify vulnerabilities, optimize their defense strategies, and ensure a continuous and uninterrupted user experience. The importance of these metrics lies in their ability to provide a clear view of the security status of the infrastructure, allowing IT teams to make informed decisions about implementing new technologies or adjustments to existing configurations. In an environment where DDoS attacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated, having accurate performance metrics is essential to maintaining the integrity and availability of online services.
