Detailed Strategies

1. Network Attack:

   • Prevention:

     • Employs real-time monitoring and advanced anomaly detection to identify malicious activities such as DDoS attacks or unauthorized access attempts.

     • Implements encryption (e.g., TLS 1.3) and secure protocols for communication.

   • Response:

     • Automated systems isolate affected components to contain the attack and prevent spread.

     • Dynamic rate limiting adjusts traffic flow, mitigating congestion or resource overload.

2. Performance Issues:

   • Prevention:

     • Regular performance testing and health checks ensure system readiness for varying workloads.

     • Capacity planning and resource optimization preemptively address potential bottlenecks.

   • Response:

     • Dynamic scaling allocates additional resources during demand surges, maintaining service quality.

     • Workload balancing redistributes tasks to underutilized nodes, ensuring consistent performance.

3. Market Manipulation:

   • Prevention:

     • Implements anti-fraud mechanisms to detect and flag irregular pricing or trading patterns.

     • Dynamic pricing models ensure fair value alignment with market conditions.

   • Response:

     • Circuit breakers halt trading temporarily during extreme price fluctuations, preventing exploitation.

     • Suspicious transactions are flagged for review, with corrective actions taken as needed.
