DDoS Protection

DDoS protection refers to measures taken to defend websites and online services from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, where multiple compromised computers overwhelm a target with excessive traffic. This flood of requests can make the service slow or completely unavailable to legitimate users. Protection methods include traffic filtering, rate limiting, and using specialized services that can absorb and redirect excessive traffic, ensuring that genuine users can still access the service. Essentially, DDoS protection helps maintain online availability and reliability even when under attack.
