What would it take to knock your network, your Website server or self-hosted applications offline?
It would take a residential Internet connection and an IP spoofing capable hacker.
Claiming your server's identity, the hacker would send a very small request to hundreds of unsuspecting servers.
These perfectly legitimate servers would then innocently reply to YOUR server with automatic responses up to 50,000 times larger than the tiny request they received.
If you are unprepared, the only options are:
- to pay the ransom - if any,
- to wait - on average 8.7 hours,* or
- to struggle to recover your services...
but you will not recover your bandwidth until the attack has stopped.
Denial of Service attacks aren’t something you can effectively protect yourself against from within, but you can from without.
Our clients are protected from Distributed Denial of Service attacks.
