Selected Answer: A
A. Implementing cloud-scrubbing services Implementing cloud-scrubbing services is the best solution to address future occurrences of this type of attack. Here's why: Cloud-Scrubbing Services: Cloud-scrubbing services are designed to mitigate DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks by redirecting traffic through a cloud-based filtering system. This allows malicious traffic to be filtered out before it reaches the organization's network, thus preventing saturation of the internet connection.

However, in the scenario described where the organization's internet connection is saturated with traffic from multiple IP addresses across the internet, it suggests a large-scale DDoS attack. While a WAF can provide protection against certain types of attacks, including application-layer attacks, it may not have the capacity to handle a massive influx of traffic that a cloud-scrubbing service, designed specifically for DDoS mitigation, can manage.
