CISA & FBI Released Guide to Respond for DDoS Attacks

A joint CISA, FBI, and MS-ISAC guide explains the DDoS threat landscape, differentiates DoS from DDoS, categorizes attack types (volumetric, protocol, and application layer), and provides actionable steps for prevention, detection, response, and recovery. It recommends risk assessments, traffic baselining, load balancing, DDoS mitigation services, incident response planning, provider coordination, stakeholder communication, and post-incident analysis to strengthen organizational resilience against evolving DDoS threats.
