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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DDoS attacks will not disappear and are becoming increasingly easy to carry out.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DDoS attacks can paralyze your services and cost you revenue.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DDoS attacks can damage your brand image.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Minimize risk with a DDoS protection solution you can count on.
When it comes to cybersecurity, DDoS attacks are one of the easiest ways for attackers to win.

Frequently Asked Questions About DDoS Protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
How often do DDoS attacks actually happen?<\/strong>
DDoS attacks occur worldwide every 39 seconds. No company is fundamentally too small or insignificant to become a target, since many attacks are automated and cast a wide net.<\/p> <\/div>
Why are DDoS attacks so easy to carry out today?<\/strong>
Attackers can buy complete DDoS systems on the dark web for just a few euros. They can also easily cover their tracks, making attack traffic look unremarkable even to analysts and automated detection systems.<\/p> <\/div>
What costs should I expect from a DDoS outage?<\/strong>
An average DDoS attack costs a company between 20,000 and 40,000 EUR per hour of downtime. In the largest documented ransom cases of 2020, victims paid a combined total of around 134 million EUR to attackers.<\/p> <\/div>
What is blackholing in DDoS protection?<\/strong>
Blackholing is a mechanism where traffic identified as malicious is automatically dropped before it reaches the company’s actual infrastructure. Network-based solutions apply this at the core of the network rather than only at the server itself.<\/p> <\/div>
Why can a centralized security solution create additional latency?<\/strong>
A centralized security architecture is easier to manage and scale, but especially for cloud and internet applications it can cause noticeable additional latency. SD-WAN solutions with deep SASE integration avoid this hidden cost factor.<\/p> <\/div>
How does SAVECALL protect companies against DDoS attacks?<\/strong>
SAVECALL, together with its partners, offers network-based DDoS protection available both in the data center and directly at the internet access. Automatic blackholing plus advanced monitoring, detection and mitigation technologies ensure that only clean traffic reaches your servers.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
