As technology continues to advance, cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and dangerous. One of the most common types of cyberattacks is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), which can cause immense damage to businesses of all sizes.
A DDoS attack is similar to a traffic jam on a highway: when too many vehicles try to pass through a narrow lane at the same time, the traffic comes to a standstill. Similarly, a DDoS attack overwhelms a business's server with an excessive amount of internet traffic, causing it to crash and making its services unavailable to customers.
The consequences of a DDoS attack can be dire. It can lead to lost revenue, angry customers, and a damaged reputation. In fact, a recent study found that the average DDoS attack lasts for 50 minutes, causing significant disruptions to a business's operations.
The severity of DDoS attacks is escalating, with the largest ever reported attack peaking at 71 million requests per second. Worse still, cybercriminals are increasingly demanding huge ransoms to halt their attacks, putting more businesses at risk.
It is imperative that businesses take immediate action to protect themselves against these threats. This includes ensuring their firewalls are up to date, using DDoS monitoring and prevention tools, and providing their teams with comprehensive cybersecurity training.
