A Denial of Service (DoS) attack aims to disrupt the normal functioning of a service by overwhelming it with excessive traffic, rendering it unavailable to legitimate users. Mitigation strategies include:
Rate Limiting: Implement limits on the number of requests from a single source to prevent abuse.
Traffic Filtering: Use firewalls and intrusion detection systems to filter out malicious traffic.
Load Balancing: Distribute traffic across multiple servers to manage load and prevent single points of failure.
Anti-DDoS Services: Employ specialized services that detect and mitigate distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
