Protecting your business from DDoS assaults
Although digitalization has brought about many positive changes in the administration and management of companies, security must be continually reinforced. DDoS attacks are a threat that should not be underestimated.
What does DDoS Attacks stand for ?
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are cyber attacks on a specific server or network with the purpose of disrupting that server normal activity. This is possible through many techniques, like the flooding of a network to prevent its operation, the obstruction of access to a service for a particular person, or the sending of billions of bytes to an Internet box. It may also occur when the attacker exploits machine weaknesses and limits.
A Distributed Denial of Service attack or DDoS is a DoS coming from multiple sources all at once. This cyber criminal attack is much more dangerous for your security and datas, as the attacker may easily succeed even using non sophisticated elements.
How do you know you are being DDoS attacked ?
A DDoS attack is hardly unrecognizable, as its characteristics are very clear.
While being under a DDoS assault, your website or server is unavailable: you cannot connect to your site or server. Plus, you can notice an unexpected high inbound traffic volume and a hoster or server suspension. The attacker may be attempting to extract money from you or blackmail you.
