Lesson Notes
DDoS Attack
Module 2: Threat Landscape. Distributed Denial of Service attacks: how they work, common vectors (volumetric, protocol, application-layer), mitigation and defence strategies. Essential for understanding availability threats and resilience.
Module 2: DDoS Attack — Threat Landscape
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks aim to make systems or networks unavailable by overwhelming them with traffic or resource exhaustion. This lesson covers how DDoS works, common vectors (volumetric, protocol, application-layer), and mitigation and defence strategies. Essential for understanding availability threats and resilience.
Key Takeaway for Lesson 7
DDoS attacks threaten availability. Understand volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attacks and how to defend and mitigate. Next: Threat Landscape — Malware and Ransomware.
