What You’ll Learn on This Page
This page outlines best practices for planning and running simulations in RADAR. It provides guidance on designing continuous, multi-Target simulation sessions, validating policy and configuration changes through Remediation Sessions, and coordinating with mitigation vendors to accelerate response cycles. Following these recommendations helps ensure effective test planning, continuous validation, and improved visibility into your organization’s DDoS protection posture.

Plan Multi-Target Simulation Sessions for Comprehensive Coverage
To achieve full visibility and ensure all Targets and attack vectors are consistently tested, we recommend planning simulation sessions that include multiple Targets and are designed to run continuously. While sessions running for several hours already provide broader coverage than single tests, maintaining 24/7 operation is essential for uncovering time-based vulnerabilities, monitoring mitigation effectiveness in real-time, and validating protection across all layers. Thoughtful planning of long-duration, multi-Target simulations lays the foundation for scalable, continuous testing that reflects real-world traffic conditions and provides actionable insights at all times.

Use Remediation Sessions to Validate Policy Changes
When validating recent policy changes or working collaboratively with your mitigation vendor, schedule a Remediation Session to immediately retest the affected result. Conducting immediate retests following configuration or policy changes enables real-time validation of corrective actions and confirms that mitigation measures are functioning as intended. This process streamlines the remediation cycle, strengthens operational alignment with vendors, and ensures continuous improvement of your DDoS protection posture.
