Most security leaders believe that if they have the right protection technologies in place and successfully pass an annual DDoS simulation, they are adequately protected. Unfortunately, that assumption often proves incorrect. In our experience, many organizations remain overconfident in their ability to withstand a real-world attack. Even enterprises that have ...

In the complex world of cybersecurity, technical teams often struggle to explain risk to executive leadership, while managers find it difficult to know if their multi-million dollar technology investments are actually working. The DDoS Resiliency Score (DRS) provides a solution by offering an open, objective standard to measure an organisation’s ... Read More

Key Takeaways There are three main DDoS attack categories:  Volumetric (Layer 3), Protocol (Layer 4), and application layer (Layer 7) – each with different attack characteristics Each category requires a different mitigation approach, though the mitigation of layer 3/4 attacks is the same in majority of cases Application layer (L7) ...

Companies invest heavily in DDoS mitigation, yet outages still happen—often at the worst possible moment. The problem is rarely the protection technology, but the unseen gaps between deployment and a real attack, where misconfigurations, false assumptions, and untested scenarios quietly accumulate.  Red Button simulation data shows that 68% of identified ...

For a long time, DDoS attacks were easy to recognize. They were loud, messy, and built on raw throughput. Attackers controlled massive botnets and flooded targets until bandwidth or infrastructure collapsed. It was mostly a scale problem, not an engineering one. That era is ending. A quieter and far more ... Read More

DDoS attacks were once crude instruments—digital sledgehammers that would flood a target with massive amounts of traffic until it crashed. While these brute-force assaults remain common, a new generation of attacks is emerging with surgical precision, powered by artificial intelligence that makes them faster, smarter, and exponentially harder to defend ...

  As everyone in the security space knows, misplaced confidence can often be much worse than a known weakness. When you have an accurate idea of where your vulnerabilities are, at least you can focus your mitigation resources there accordingly. But if you think your defenses are strong where they ... Read More
