How can organizations prepare for a potential volumetric DDoS attack?

Organizations should develop a DDoS response plan that outlines procedures for detection, mitigation, and recovery. This includes establishing communication channels and assigning roles and responsibilities. Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments can help identify weaknesses in infrastructure. Implementing rate limiting and traffic shaping can help mitigate smaller attacks. Having a DDoS mitigation service provider on standby is crucial for handling large-scale attacks. Regularly testing the DDoS response plan through simulations is vital.
