Description: Unusual patterns in DDoS protection refer to traffic behaviors on a network that significantly deviate from what is considered normal. These patterns can be indicative of a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, where multiple systems overwhelm a service by flooding it with malicious traffic. Identifying these patterns is crucial for early detection of attacks, allowing network administrators to take preventive measures before the attack causes significant damage. Unusual patterns may include sudden spikes in traffic, unusual requests to certain resources, or an increase in traffic from specific IP addresses. The ability to recognize these patterns is essential for implementing effective mitigation strategies, such as traffic filtering or redirecting to mitigation servers. In a digital environment where service availability is critical, detecting unusual patterns becomes a vital tool for maintaining service integrity and continuity.
