A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is a cyberattack in which multiple compromised systems flood a target server, network, or service with excessive traffic, overwhelming it and making it unavailable to legitimate users. Cybersecurity professionals defend against DDoS attacks using traffic filtering, rate limiting, and specialized mitigation services like those from Cloudflare or Akamai. Understanding DDoS attacks is essential for network engineers and security teams responsible for maintaining service uptime and resilience.
