US government issues DDoS attack guidance, emphasizing prevention steps for public sector entities.

The US government released a new DDoS attack guidance, focusing on three types of attacks: volume-based, protocol-based, and application layer-based. The advisory from CISA, FBI, and MS-ISAC recommends public sector entities to establish incident response plans, increase bandwidth capacity, implement load balancing, and establish redundancy and failover mechanisms. Mitigation strategies include risk assessments, robust monitoring tools, Captcha challenge, and regularly updating software.
