While primarily a threat, some IoT devices, particularly those with network monitoring capabilities, can be incorporated into DDoS mitigation strategies. For example, a network of smart cameras could detect unusual traffic patterns and alert administrators, or a distributed sensor network could help identify the source of an attack.
