# Realtime Velocity Class

A velocity classification where attack progression occurs within seconds or milliseconds. Typical threat clusters: #6 (Flooding), #2 (Wormable Exploits). Control strategy must rely on architecture, hardening, and circuit breakers, as detection and response times are insufficient. Example: DDoS attacks, wormable exploits like EternalBlue, automated exploitation frameworks.
