What is a DDoS attack?
When thousands of computers flood a web server at once, they can bring it down. This is called a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The owner of these infected computers are unaware that their machines have been hijacked; their internet connection has been commandeered by an outside party for malicious purposes.
How can I prevent it?
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a type of cyberattack in which multiple compromised systems flood a target with traffic, making it unavailable. DDoS attacks are common, expensive and easy for hackers to launch. This makes them an attractive form of attack for malicious actors; most websites are small enough that a group of attackers can take them offline by sending enough traffic. By understanding your risk exposure and learning how to defend against these attacks, you will be able to withstand an attack when it comes, such as by subscribing to Koddos to secure your website and server.
Should I worry about DDoS attacks?
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a denial-of-service attack wherein a system or network resource is flooded with traffic from multiple sources. A DDoS may be facilitated by infecting many machines with malware; each one then becomes a bot, which contributes traffic towards flooding a targeted site.
How much does the average price range for protection from an attack?
The pricing for DDoS protection can range from free all of the way up to thousands of dollars a month. The best way to know if a provider is right for you is by researching their offerings, features, and clientele. If it’s an affordable option that fits your budget, it’s likely worth considering.
The safest way to protect your business against DDoS
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack involves flooding a target with so much traffic that it is unable to cope, thereby denying access. So far, 2018 has seen more DDoS attacks than ever before.
