Which superflow type is associated with a DDoS Attack?

In the context of network security and incident response within IBM QRadar, the association of superflow types with specific security events is crucial for effective monitoring and analysis. A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is characterized by overwhelming a target system or network with a flood of traffic, often aiming to render services unavailable to legitimate users.

Type B superflow is specifically designed to capture the features and behaviors associated with such high-volume attack patterns. This type focuses on identifying trends in traffic flow, unusual spikes in incoming requests, and excessive connection attempts coming from numerous sources. By aggregating and analyzing this data, Type B superflows are able to provide valuable insights into the activities indicative of a DDoS attack, allowing security teams to respond effectively.

In contrast, other superflow types may cater to different attack vectors or security incidents, which do not align with the nature of DDoS attacks. For example, some might focus on user behavior or internal security alerts rather than external traffic flooding. This specificity makes Type B superflow particularly suited for detecting and analyzing DDoS attacks.
