How Threat Intel Drives Smarter Security Spend

This report provides an overview of DDoS as a persistent threat, explaining how threat intelligence (e.g., data on daily attacks and targeting trends) can guide timely investment in defenses. It highlights common targets influenced by geopolitical events, references tools like DDoSia, and recommends practical mitigations such as scrubbing centers, CDNs, WAFs, Anycast DNS, and ISP partnerships. The focus is on improving operational resilience and making data-driven risk decisions rather than detailing a specific incident.
