Keep Your Business Safe with DDoS Protection

Avoid Long Downtimes

DDoS attacks can hurt businesses. They can cause lost money, make customers lose trust, and harm your business’s name. Stopping these attacks with DDoS Protection is important to keep your business running smoothly and avoid long breaks.

Quickly Stop DDoS Attacks

123NET’s DDoS Protection helps defend against online threats. It can spot attacks super fast, in just a second, so your services keep running smoothly. DDoS attacks have grown a lot in the past two years. Trust 123NET to keep your business safe and running without problems.

Understanding DDoS Attacks:

Definition: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are malicious attempts to disrupt the normal functioning of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic. These attacks can be executed using multiple compromised systems, often forming a “botnet” to target a single system.

Types of DDoS Attacks: There are several types of attacks, each with its method and impact. Some of the most common include:

  • Volumetric Attacks: These attacks aim to consume the bandwidth of the targeted site. Examples include UDP floods and ICMP floods.
  • Protocol Attacks: These attacks consume actual server resources or those of intermediate communication equipment, such as firewalls. Examples include SYN floods and fragmented packet attacks.
  • Application-layer Attacks: These are the most sophisticated and potentially damaging. They target specific applications and can be challenging to detect. Examples include HTTP floods and low-and-slow attacks.

Common Targets: While any business or individual can be a target, specific sectors are more vulnerable due to their public-facing nature. This includes e-commerce sites, financial institutions, and government agencies.

The Importance of DDoS Protection:

Business Impact: DDoS attacks can have severe financial implications. According to studies, the average DDoS attack can cost a business upwards of $100,000 every hour the attack continues. This doesn’t even account for potential lost revenue due to interrupted services or the cost of repairing the damage.

Reputation and Trust: Beyond the immediate financial repercussions, businesses also face long-term damage to their reputation. Customers expect reliability, and repeated outages or security breaches can erode trust, leading to lost business and negative publicity.

Best Practices: To bolster your defense against DDoS attacks:

  • Implement rate limiting for your applications.
  • Use content delivery networks (CDNs) to distribute traffic.
  • Regularly back up all data and configurations.

Regular Updates: Ensure that all software, especially security software, is up-to-date. Cyber attackers often exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated software.

Employee Training: A well-informed team is a crucial defense against cyber threats. Regularly train your employees about the latest cyber threats and how to recognize potential security breaches.
