Can a DDoS attack affect your website?

Suffering DDoS attacks may seem like an inevitable side effect of being online; the more successful your site, the more likely it might seem that you’ll be the target of an attack at some point. But you can reduce the chances of a DDoS attack affecting your site.

Why do I need a DDoS mitigation solution?

Because attackers generate DDoS traffic by exploiting legitimate network and internet behavior, any connected device or server is vulnerable to an attack because it isn’t recognized as malicious in nature. You must create an intermediate mitigation solution to respond to that attack instead.

What is DDoS extortion?

Others involve extortion, in which perpetrators attack a company and install hostageware or ransomware on their servers, then force them to pay a large financial sum for the damage to be reversed. DDoS attacks are on the rise, and even some of the largest global companies are not immune to being "DDoS'ed".
