DDoS attacks have become a recurring and significant problem for enterprises and organizations of all sizes. These attacks pose a constant and severe threat to network infrastructure, online services, and business operations in today’s digital landscape. These attacks can have devastating impacts on businesses, including financial losses, reputational damage, and disruption of critical services. These attacks can leverage compromised device networks to flood targets with overwhelming traffic.

DDoS Attack Overview

A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the availability or performance of a targeted network, system, or application by overwhelming it with a flood of illegitimate traffic or requests. Multiple compromised devices are used to generate the attack traffic in this attack. The aim is to exhaust the target’s resources, such as network bandwidth, processing power, or memory, causing disruption or rendering the target inaccessible to legitimate users.
