Network Intelligence for DDoS and Web-Attack Context

What to understand

During a service disruption, security and operations teams need to distinguish the traffic that matters and understand its impact. Network intelligence can add context to observed requests, but it is one input within an established availability and application-security response.

Connect requests with service impact

Compare unusual request patterns with the resources being affected. Review timing, targeted endpoints and available network evidence. Shared infrastructure can serve legitimate users, so classification alone should not determine how all traffic is handled.

Signals to review together

Distributed attack traffic can threaten availability while other abusive requests target application workflows.

• Availability: Track service impact
• Request Shape: Compare unusual request patterns
• Network Evidence: Add relevant threat context
• Response Ownership: Route findings to security teams

Keep response ownership clear

Route findings to teams responsible for availability and application defenses. Define the decision an additional data source should improve and test it against known traffic patterns. IFD provides data guidance and provider evaluation support; this page does not offer an IFD DDoS mitigation service.

Keep legitimate activity in view

Fraud data can add context; dedicated availability and application defenses remain essential.
