What is a DDoS Attack?

What is a DDoS Attack
A DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack is a malicious attempt to make a website unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from thousands of sources. DDoS attacks are executed when multiple computers on different networks, called a botnet, send large amounts of data requests to your website all at once. This takes an immense toll on a website’s resources and processing capabilities—causing websites to slow down or crash.

  • The longest DDoS attack in recent years lasted 297 hours—more than 12 days.
  • The real-world cost of an unmitigated attack is $40,000 per hour when loss of customer trust, data theft, intellectual property loss, and more are factored into the equation.

DDoS Attack Protection at-a-glance

Experience constant website uptime with state-of-the-art DDoS protection. Today, websites are attacked approximately 62 times per day, per website. With advanced security protecting your site you can help prevent targeted DDoS attacks from disrupting your business and visitor experience.
