Description: An operational playbook in the context of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection is a documented set of procedures and guidelines that an organization must follow to effectively respond to DDoS attacks. This type of manual is essential to ensure that all members of the cybersecurity team are aligned and prepared to act quickly and in coordination during an attack. A typical operational playbook includes protocols for attack detection, mitigation measures, roles and responsibilities of personnel, as well as steps to follow for service recovery. Additionally, it may contain information about specific tools and technologies that will be used to protect the network infrastructure. The importance of an operational playbook lies in its ability to reduce response time and minimize the impact of a DDoS attack, which can cause significant disruptions to online services and economic losses. Clear and accessible documentation allows organizations not only to react to incidents but also to conduct drills and training to continuously improve their preparedness and resilience against cyber threats.
