Description: The zoning strategy is a network security approach that organizes and segments different areas of a digital infrastructure to enhance protection against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. This method involves dividing the network into specific zones, each with its own security policies and access controls. By segmenting the network, the exposure of critical resources is limited, and the identification and mitigation of threats are facilitated. Zoning allows organizations to implement more effective security measures, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and load balancers, in each zone, tailoring defenses to the specific needs of each segment. Additionally, this strategy helps contain DDoS attacks, as an attack targeting a specific zone does not necessarily compromise the whole network. In summary, the zoning strategy is essential for creating a more resilient and secure network architecture, enabling organizations to better manage the risks associated with DDoS threats.
