| Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) |
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are a real concern for businesses today. Nearly 40 percent of all enterprises experienced at least one DDoS attack within the past year, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in lost business, not to mention damage to the brand and shaken customer confidence. Attacks can easily be launched with just a few lines of code emanating from even a low-powered computer, but most utilize a large number of compromised computers to overload a single server, causing the target to shut down and deny service to legitimate users.
No one ideal method exists to completely defend against the wide variety of attacks possible; however, the right security approach can make it difficult to successfully complete an attack. That's why SiegeWorks' digital defense specialists use a range of technology assessments and services to provide advanced protection against DDoS attacks. For example, by coupling the use of firewalls with high-speed DDoS mitigation hardware devices, SiegeWorks can help eliminate the risk of these damaging attacks. |
