Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a type of cyber threat where an attacker overwhelms a targeted server, service, or network with a flood of internet traffic. This is achieved by utilising multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. These compromised systems, referred to as bots, form a network called a botnet. The attacker controls these bots remotely and directs them to send numerous requests to the target’s IP address, potentially causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic. For the reasons below, it’s crucial to have DDoS protection measures in place. These can include identifying normal traffic patterns, securing your network, increasing network bandwidth, and implementing solutions that can detect and mitigate DDoS attacks. This will help ensure continuous service availability, safeguard your reputation, and avoid financial losses.

Business Continuity

DDoS attacks disrupt your network, slowing down or completely halting your operations, impacting your ability to serve your stakeholders

Reputation Damage

A successful DDoS attack can harm your company’s reputation. Customers may lose trust in your ability to protect their data and provide reliable service

Financial Loss

This can be due to lost sales during the disruption, cost of mitigation, or potential fines for failing to protect customer data

Confidential Data Risk

DDoS attacks can put your confidential information at risk because responses to the breach are slowed down

Improve Network Performance

Proactive protection ensures seamless access to your services without interruptions
