Denial-of-service attacks overwhelm IoT devices, disrupting functionality. Rate limiting and network segmentation can mitigate these attacks.
Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks overwhelm IoT (Internet of Things) devices by flooding them with traffic, which disrupts their regular functionality by making services unavailable to users. Rate limiting is a technique used to control the amount of incoming or outgoing traffic to a certain threshold to prevent overwhelming the device or network. Network segmentation involves dividing a network into smaller subnetworks to contain and isolate potential attack sources, thus limiting the impact of DoS attacks by restricting their reach. These strategies can help mitigate the risks posed by DoS attacks on IoT devices.
