Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks pose worrying challenges for enterprises, especially because the target of attacks is usually to disrupt and shut down the organization's service operations. As the scale, intensity and frequency of DDoS attacks continue to grow, they may face greater challenges in the future.
In a DDoS attack, your company's server or network may be overwhelmed by a large amount of traffic, and its sole purpose is to maliciously interrupt your business. These attacks can cause your website to respond slowly or make customers inaccessible, which may have a negative impact on sales and customer service.
Emerging threats
1. Domain Name Server (DNS)
A simple sign, DNS attacks are increasingly becoming people's favorite targets. Facts have proved that these attacks are particularly problematic. The victims reported that these attacks did not mitigate these attacks well and were adversely affected.
2. IoT botnet
These types of attacks are expected to increase due to more and more types of IoT devices going online and online. They do not require a large amount of traffic to penetrate into the application and are therefore difficult to detect. But this type of attack is gradually increasing.
3. SSL- based attacks
As more and more companies adopt better encryption practices, malicious actors will target other vulnerabilities (such as SSL). Since it is difficult to identify these types of attacks, a lot of resources are needed to mitigate them.
4. Explosive attack
These fierce but usually random attacks are becoming more and more common, and combat is especially difficult for security teams. They are characterized by a large number of attacks in a short period of time.
