Denial of service (DDoS) is a malicious attack aimed at making a service unavailable to legitimate users by overwhelming the targeted server with a large volume of traffic. Attackers often exploit networks of malware-infected machines, called botnets, to coordinate these massive attacks. The consequences of DDoS can be severe, ranging from temporary disruption of online services to considerable financial damage for businesses.
To protect against such denial of service attacks, organizations must implement effective detection and mitigation solutions as well as incident response plans. This mode of attack is widely used by hackers via category security vulnerabilities “Zero Days” or lack of automatic updates.
