Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have been around since the early 2000’s, and the technology solutions for mitigating such attacks have evolved dramatically over the past few years. Hackers are more sophisticated, and the attacks are increasing, so the old solutions— which never worked perfectly—are even less effective in today’s cyber threat landscape. Therefore,
