Description: Traffic mitigation refers to the techniques used to manage and reduce malicious traffic during a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. This type of attack aims to saturate the resources of a server, network, or service, preventing normal operation. Traffic mitigation involves implementing various strategies and tools that allow for the identification, filtering, and diversion of unwanted traffic, ensuring that legitimate operations continue uninterrupted. Mitigation solutions can include advanced firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and cloud services that offer DDoS protection. These techniques are essential for maintaining the availability and integrity of online services, especially in an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Traffic mitigation not only focuses on defense during an attack but also includes planning and preparation to respond effectively to future incidents, thus ensuring business continuity and user trust.
