What are some common threats to distributed systems?

Common threats include DDoS attacks, data breaches, man-in-the-middle attacks, and insider threats.

How can we mitigate these threats?

Mitigation strategies include implementing firewalls, using encryption, conducting regular security audits, and employing intrusion detection systems.
