DDoS: A Threat You Can't Afford to Ignore
Overview Distributed denial of service, otherwise known as DDoS, refers to a form of attack whereby a number of source IPs simultaneously send an abnormally large number of packets to a particular destination, thereby overwhelming the bandwidth or the processing power of the destination. Over the years, the industry has seen many large-scale DDoS attacks, including some that took down the services of well-known, major global enterprises. Despite the efforts of the security community, DDoS continues to wreak havoc on the Internet.
