CDNs distribute content across multiple servers globally, absorbing some of the attack traffic and reducing the load on the origin server. They are effective against volumetric attacks and application-layer attacks, but may not be sufficient for highly sophisticated or targeted attacks. Integration with dedicated DDoS mitigation services enhances their effectiveness.
