DNS and the Threat of DDoS
The Domain Name System (DNS), the internet's address book, is under siege by cybercriminals launching massive DDoS attacks. These attacks can take down websites, disrupt critical services, and cost businesses dearly. Traditional mitigation methods using scrubbing centers are failing to keep pace with the growing power of botnets. However, Cloudflare believes a different approach is needed: a massively distributed network paired with secure DNS resolution.
