Mitigating a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack on a web server involves a multi-layered approach. First, implement traffic monitoring and anomaly detection. Continuously monitor network traffic patterns to establish a baseline of normal activity. Anomaly detection systems can then identify unusual traffic spikes or patterns that indicate a DDoS attack. These systems should be able to alert administrators in real-time. Second, use a Content Delivery Network (CDN). A CDN distributes your website's content across multiple servers in different geographic locations. This helps to absorb attack traffic and prevent the origin server from being overwhelmed. CDNs also offer DDoS protection services, such as traffic filtering and rate limiting. Third, implement rate limiting. Rate limiting restricts the number of requests that a client can make to your server within a specific time period. This can help to preven....
