Have you ever attempted to purchase a popular product online, such as tickets to a big game, only to be met with a blank screen stating that the DNS Server was unresponsive? Then a distributed denial-of-service attack, or DDoS for short, has probably already occurred.
A DDoS attack is a type of cyberattack in which the attacker deliberately disrupts a web service by putting too much traffic on the website, which overloads its capacity.
Ways to Prevent DDoS Attacks
Configure routers and firewalls
Businesses should set up firewalls and routers to be ready to react quickly to attacks. These can be set up to analyze data packages, classify the data’s priority, and use that information to filter out bad connections. They remain your company’s first line of defense against DDoS.
Scrubbing Centers
Scrubbing Centers are a type of defense that keeps track of traffic going to and from services, scans it for malicious activity, and then removes it. They look over the flow, eliminating any problematic connections that they find.
Endpoint Protection
Endpoint security should be a top priority for businesses because it can help stop devices from joining a botnet. Endpoint security enables administrators to check that users’ computers are patched and up to date, minimizing the chance of malicious threats getting inside.
