Accepted Answer

DoS zone protection and DoS attack rule are two different methods to prevent DoS attacks.

DoS zone protection is a feature that blocks traffic from a specific IP address or subnet if it exceeds a certain threshold.
DoS attack rule is a security policy that identifies and blocks traffic patterns that are indicative of a DoS attack.
DoS zone protection is a proactive measure that prevents traffic from reaching the target, while DoS attack rule is a reactive measure that blocks traffic after it has been identified as malicious.
DoS zone protection is typically used to protect against volumetric attacks, while DoS attack rule is used to protect against application-layer attacks.
Examples of DoS zone protection include rate limiting and blacklisting, while examples of DoS attack rule include signature-based detection and anomaly detection.
