This shift is driven by three factors:
🛡️ Key Takeaway: The "Cost of Defense" vs. "Cost of Downtime" strategy%26+ddos
Ensure you have more bandwidth than you think you need to handle small-scale surges. Mimicking legitimate user behavior to crash web servers

However, in the modern threat landscape, this view is dangerously outdated. Today, DDoS is rarely an end in itself. Instead, it is a . Understanding the "strategy + DDoS" equation is no longer optional for security professionals; it is critical to defense.
