Description: Local DDoS protection refers to security solutions that are installed and managed directly within an organization’s infrastructure to mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. These solutions are designed to identify and filter malicious traffic before it reaches critical servers, thereby ensuring the availability and performance of online services. Unlike cloud-based solutions, which divert traffic through external data centers, local DDoS protection allows for more direct control over configuration and response to attacks. Key features include the ability to customize filtering rules, integration with existing monitoring systems, and the capability to perform real-time traffic analysis. This form of protection is especially relevant for organizations handling sensitive data or requiring high availability, such as banks, healthcare providers, and e-commerce companies. Implementing local DDoS solutions can be complex and requires specialized personnel, but it offers the advantage of a faster and more tailored response to the specific needs of the organization.
