Here are some strategies you can use to protect your network against DDoS attacks:
- Add Rate Limiting: Rate limiting is when you set a specific limit of incoming requests your network can receive in a specified period of time. If the threshold is exceeded, the requests will be denied.
- Employ Traffic Scanning: Using traffic scanning and related tools can help you narrow in on targets and detect malicious activity in your network.
- Monitor Network Traffic: Regularly monitoring your network traffic and using measures like firewalls can help detect traffic anomolies. Firewalls allow you to control access to your network, and block suspicious connections.
- Keep Server Network Traffic Seperate: Seperating your server network traffic from public traffic on shared connections helps prevent DDoS attackers from overwhelming your servers.
