A Denial of Service attack (Abbreviated as DoS).
What can a company do to stay away from a DDOS attack?
To stay away from a DDoS attack, a company should implement multiple layers of defense. This includes using network firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion detection systems. Regular monitoring of traffic patterns helps identify unusual spikes early. It’s also important to have a DDoS response plan and collaborate with a reliable mitigation service. At SafeAeon, we’ve seen that companies that invest in proactive measures and simulate attack scenarios are better prepared to maintain service availability during such threats.
What characterises a DDOS attack?
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is characterised by a sudden surge of traffic from multiple sources targeting a single server or network. This overwhelming traffic aims to exhaust system resources, making the service slow or unavailable. At SafeAeon, we often observe that these attacks are distributed, unpredictable, and capable of disrupting operations within minutes.
How do you prevent DDoS attack?
You do not have much choice, only correctly configured firewall/iptables (which is not a trivial task to do) can help you to prevent it. But there is no 100%.
Is denial of service also called a Nuke attack?
"Yes, It is also known as DoS attack or DDoS attack too. It is where a type of service it prevented to function such as an internet site like a bank service or something like that."
