DDoS Protection refers to a set of security measures and services designed to defend websites, servers, or networks from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks occur when cybercriminals flood a target with massive amounts of traffic from multiple sources, aiming to overwhelm resources and make the service unavailable to legitimate users. DDoS protection solutions detect unusual traffic patterns, filter out malicious requests, and ensure that genuine visitors can still access the site. By preventing downtime and service interruptions, DDoS protection helps maintain business continuity and safeguard online reputation.
