Description: Cleaning in the context of DDoS protection refers to a method used to filter malicious traffic from legitimate traffic during a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. This process is crucial for maintaining the availability of online services, as DDoS attacks can flood a server with requests, causing it to become inoperable. Scrubbing involves the use of advanced technologies that analyze incoming traffic, identifying patterns that indicate malicious activity. Once unwanted traffic is detected, measures are taken to block it, allowing only legitimate traffic to reach the server. This process not only protects IT infrastructure but also ensures that legitimate users can access services without interruptions. Scrubbing is an integral part of modern cybersecurity strategies, as DDoS attacks have become more sophisticated and frequent, requiring organizations to be prepared to respond effectively to these threats.
