What can a company do to stay away from a DDOS attack?

Answer 1

To stay away from a DDoS attack, a company should implement multiple layers of defense. This includes using network firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion detection systems. Regular monitoring of traffic patterns helps identify unusual spikes early. It’s also important to have a DDoS response plan and collaborate with a reliable mitigation service. At SafeAeon, we’ve seen that companies that invest in proactive measures and simulate attack scenarios are better prepared to maintain service availability during such threats.

Answer 2

Advanced hardware firewalls can protect a company from falling to a DDOS attack, though not the most sophisticated attacks. Servers can also be configured to minimize the effect of an attack to define limits on application resource allocation. There are also DDOS mitigation appliances available to "sanitize" traffic, though none are perfect and will allow some bad traffic through.
