A documented DDoS response plan eliminates confusion when an attack hits. Build one that works with clear roles, templates, and real procedures.
Stealth Scans & TCP Anomalies: How CoreEdge Stops Them Early
Before a DDoS assault begins, attackers map targets using stealth scans. Learn how CoreEdge performs real-time TCP flag forensics to stop reconnaissance early.
Layer 3/4 vs Layer 7 DDoS Attacks: Full Comparison Guide
Layer 3/4 attacks overwhelm bandwidth while Layer 7 exhausts app resources. Learn the key differences and why each layer needs a different defense.
What Is eBPF/XDP and Why It's the Future of DDoS Mitigation
eBPF and XDP process packets at the network card before the kernel sees them. Learn why this technology outperforms every legacy DDoS mitigation approach.
What Is GeoIP Blocking? When to Use It for DDoS Mitigation
GeoIP blocking filters traffic by country of origin — useful for reducing DDoS attack surface. Learn when it makes sense and when it risks blocking real users.
What Is Rate Limiting and How Does It Stop DDoS Attacks?
Rate limiting is a powerful DDoS defense — but only when implemented correctly. Learn how it works and why per-source rate limiting changes everything.
DNS Amplification Attacks Explained: From 60 Bytes to Tbps
DNS amplification turns open resolvers into attack cannons. Learn how a 60-byte query creates a 4,000-byte flood — and how to defend against it.
What Is BGP Blackholing and Why It's Not Enough for DDoS
BGP blackholing stops DDoS by sacrificing your service to save your network. Learn when it makes sense, when it fails, and what better alternatives exist.
DDoS Attack Trends in 2026: What Businesses Must Know
