Distributed Denial of Service Attack Concepts

A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a server, service, or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of internet traffic. DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing many compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as IoT devices. From a high level, a DDoS attack is like a traffic jam clogging up a highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its desired destination.

• Protect your business: Keep your business running by protecting your critical applications and infrastructure from DDoS attacks.

• Protect your brand: By preventing DDoS attacks you keep your systems running for customers maintaining your service and brand reputation.

• Rapid response: Understand the nature and origin of attacks for improved speed of resolution.

• Gain attack intelligence: Learn from attacks to better prepare for and defend against future attacks.

Any organisation relying on its online presence or public-facing infrastructure must defend against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which can interrupt business-critical services and act as a smokescreen for other attacks. Our Managed DDoS service delivers the resources and expertise to absorb even the most severe attacks and maintain the best possible security and availability.
