Such systems typically start in a botnet, which is simply a collection of compromised computers under the remote control of a single attacker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">During an attack, DDoS protection enables you to filter and absorb unwanted traffic while allowing legitimate visitors to access your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DDoS attacks fall into three major categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Volumetric attacks flood bandwidth using massive data volumes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Protocol attacks exploit server weaknesses in protocols like TCP or DNS<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Application-layer attacks mimic real user behaviour to target specific functions like login pages<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In 2020, Amazon Web Services mitigated a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aws-shield-tlr.s3.amazonaws.com\/2020-Q1_AWS_Shield_TLR.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2.3 Tbps DDoS\u00a0attack,<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0which is the largest recorded, highlighting the scale of this growing threat to website security.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Also Read<\/span>:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com.au\/learn\/how-to-protect-your-website-ensuring-website-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to Protect Your Website?

Having a WAF protects your network against attack vectors, such as attempts at SQL injection and vectors from various botnets that could be part of a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. \u00a0Leverage a CDN (Content Delivery Network)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">From content management to distribution, CDNs distribute your website content across nodes on a global scale. When traffic hits your site, the load is absorbed by the\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CDN&#8217;s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0network, thereby preventing direct overload on your primary server. Additionally, it reduces the page load time for users worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. \u00a0Implement Rate Limiting and Traffic Filtering<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rate limiting limits the number of requests that a single IP address can send to your server in a specific\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">time period<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Geo-filtering or blocking a few IP addresses could be used to isolate attacks or patterns and prevent a full-scale<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0assault on all your resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4.\u00a0 Choose a Secure Hosting Provider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your host should provide infrastructure-level security, including traffic scrubbing, real-time threat monitoring, and network-level firewalls. Look for a package that includes features such as automatic IP\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">blacklisting<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and bandwidth scaling so that<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0you can withstand DDoS volume spikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5. \u00a0Real-time Monitoring of Traffic Patterns<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Utilise a solution like Datadog, Cloudflare Analytics, or the built-in dashboards provided by your service providers to identify irregularities. Watch for strange spikes in traffic, abnormal IP distribution, or an explosion of request failures \u2013 all symptoms of a potential attack in the making.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6.\u00a0 Create a DDoS Response Plan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Assign responsible contacts for the response.
