Denial of service (DDoS)

What is a distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attack ?

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a cyberattack that overwhelms your website, application, or server with a massive flood of fake traffic. This traffic comes from a network of bots or compromised devices, making it difficult to trace. The main goal is to exhaust your system's resources, slow down its performance, or completely take it offline, which prevents genuine users from being able to access it.

These attacks can target any critical part of your digital presence, including websites, APIs, login portals, or checkout pages, rendering them unusable during peak business hours.

Why is DDoS Attack so dangerous ?

• Financial Losses : It can crash websites and online stores, leading to immediate lost revenue and sales.

• Operational Disruption : It prevents real customers from accessing your services and disrupts critical operations like transactions and customer support.

• Malicious Intent : These attacks are often used as a tool for extortion (ransomware), sabotage by competitors, or as a distraction while other cyberattacks are taking place.

• Reputation Damage : The downtime caused by a DDoS attack can severely damage brand trust and negatively impact your search engine rankings.
