Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a major threat to online businesses and organizations. They can cause websites and services to become unavailable, resulting in lost revenue and damage to reputation. DDoS attacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated, and it is important for organizations to understand how they work and how to defend against them.
What is a DDoS Attack?
A DDoS attack is a type of cyber attack that overwhelms a target website or service with a flood of traffic. This traffic can come from a variety of sources, including infected computers, botnets, and even legitimate users who are tricked into participating in the attack. The goal of a DDoS attack is to make the target website or service unavailable to legitimate users.
