What are the different types of DDoS mitigation techniques?

DDoS mitigation techniques encompass several approaches: filtering (blocking malicious traffic), rate limiting (restricting traffic from a specific source), traffic scrubbing (removing malicious traffic before it reaches the server), and employing DDoS mitigation services from specialized providers. Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses and may be used in combination for optimal protection. Cloud-based solutions are becoming increasingly popular for their scalability.
