This article argues that modern DDoS mitigation is largely an automation problem that has already been solved, but observability remains a challenge. It introduces FastNetMon LiveView as a browser-based interface that provides real-time traffic analytics, attack visibility, historical event analysis, and operational governance capabilities. The core thesis is that automated mitigation systems become more effective when operators can understand, audit, and tune their behavior through shared, visual telemetry rather than relying solely on command-line tools.
