DDoS protection requires a combination of strategies beyond just geographic load balancing. Geographic load balancing distributes traffic across multiple data centers, which can help mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks to some degree by distributing traffic. However, it is not a comprehensive DDoS protection solution. Effective DDoS mitigation often includes additional measures such as rate limiting, traffic scrubbing, web application firewalls, and dedicated anti-DDoS hardware or services that can identify and filter out malicious traffic.
