Description: Log maintenance involves keeping records of network activity to analyze and respond to DDoS attacks. This process is crucial for cybersecurity as it allows network administrators to identify unusual traffic patterns that may indicate an attack. By logging data such as IP addresses, access times, and traffic volumes, organizations can create a profile of normal behavior and detect anomalies. Additionally, log maintenance facilitates the collection of evidence in the event of an attack, which can be useful for subsequent investigations and for improving network defenses. Implementing effective logging systems not only helps mitigate the effects of a DDoS attack but also contributes to the planning and optimization of network infrastructure. In an environment where DDoS attacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated, log maintenance becomes an essential tool for the resilience and security of organizations.
