What is a DDoS attack?
As your organisation relies more on internet access and online applications, DDoS attacks pose a growing threat. These cyber attacks flood servers, devices, or applications, causing downtime and disrupting legitimate users. Often used as smokescreens, DDoS attacks divert attention from more serious cyber threats.
Key features of our DDoS solutions
How we safeguard your business
Our Managed DDoS Security works by ‘cleaning’ the internet traffic, and sorting through normal and malicious requests. Traffic flows to the IP address as usual, but when any unusual traffic is detected, the protection system is activated. Unsafe requests are directed away within minutes, ensuring safe traffic continues without downtime.

FAQs
How prevalent are DDoS attacks?
DDoS attacks are increasing. In 2021, 9.8 million global DDoS attacks were reported. We saw a 260% increase in our customer DDoS attacks from March 2021 to March 2022. That was on top of an increase of 235% from the previous year.
Attacks are becoming more sophisticated, longer lasting, and focused. Increasing reliance on digital solutions makes it easier for hackers. Also, weak passwords, outdated components, and insecure updates create opportunities for cyber attacks.
What are the types of DDoS attacks?
DDoS attacks aim to disrupt website services through different methods:
Volumetric attacks flood a website with botnet requests.
State exhaustion attacks overload assets.
Application layer attacks target vulnerabilities in the application layer.
Multi-vector attacks combine different types and pose additional challenges.
How can DDoS attacks be prevented?
To reduce your risk of a DDoS attack you can:
audit your organisation’s networks and services
check the protection offered by your ISP or cloud-based content delivery network (CDN) provider
ensure your network has the capacity for potential volume increase
have a robust response plan.
We offer DDoS mitigation services targeting all attack types, reducing the risk and impact.
What’s the difference between DoS and DDoS?
A DoS (Denial of Service) attack floods a server with traffic, aiming to disrupt a service and deny access to users.
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack uses multiple computers or machines to overwhelm an organisation’s resources. DDoS attacks are more complex and challenging because of their distributed nature.
How long does a DDoS attack last?
The duration of a DDoS attack varies based on its severity. It can last from minutes to days, depending on the attacker’s strategy, the organisation’s defences, and its ability to mitigate the attack.
