BridgeMind’s API was targeted by a large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, which flooded it with millions of requests and caused service disruption. The team used Claude Code, an AI-based tool, to quickly analyze traffic and update AWS firewall rules to block the attack, then transitioned to Cloudflare’s edge protection and Pro Plan for more effective, cost-efficient long-term defense. This incident highlighted both the advantages of AI in detecting cyber threats and the evolving sophistication of attacks, underscoring the need for proactive, scalable cybersecurity strategies.
