4 reasons why you need DDoS protection

DDoS attacks can mean hours or days of website downtime, damaged brand reputation and huge costs. Any business in any industry can, and probably will, fall victim to a DDoS attack at some point. DDoS attacks happen every 39 seconds. By the time you finish reading this blog, four DDoS attacks will have been carried out. Read on to find out why your company should be looking to protect itself against DDoS attacks starting now.

DDoS attacks will not disappear and are becoming increasingly easy to carry out.

Attackers can now carry out DDoS attacks much more cheaply than ever before. In fact, attackers can buy entire DDoS systems on the dark web for as little as $10. They can also easily cover their tracks, making their traffic look “clean” even to the best analysts and machines. All of these factors create the perfect environment in which DDoS attacks can be planned and executed.

DDoS attacks can paralyze your services and cost you revenue.

DDoS attacks work by sending an overwhelming or sophisticated stream of illegitimate internet traffic to a target server. This can cause your website to become slow, or worse, unavailable. In fact, the average DDoS attack costs a company between 20,000 and 40,000 EUR per hour. In addition to the costs associated with a website being down, attackers are increasingly threatening to launch DDoS attacks demanding a ransom. The attacker usually carries out or threatens to carry out an attack and asks the victim to pay a ransom or risk further attacks. In the 11 largest DDoS ransomware attacks in 2020, victims paid EUR 134 million to the attackers.

DDoS attacks can damage your brand image.

Depending on the solution and provider, centralizing the security solution makes the security processes more manageable and scalable, but this approach can also generate considerable additional latency, which can be particularly noticeable in cloud and Internet applications. This problem can quickly become a hidden cost factor if only upgrading the infrastructure (last mile / middle mile) subsequently helps. SD-WAN solutions that already provide for deep SASE integration throughout their architecture are an advantage here.
