SERVERS! 70% Both are obviously still vital and there are well established methodologies for dealing with them, but a third threat has become more prominent.. Loading... Denial of Service attacks have been happening for 10 years, but the spread of 'botnets' and simple tools for controlling them have made massive DDOS attacks much easier to initiate and much more common. DDOS attacks arrive suddenly - if they are not dealt with instantly your website will slow to a crawl in seconds and may become totally unavailable. You need a strategy in place, software, hardware and people who know how to handle the situation, even if it happens in the early hours of the morning on a public holiday. BEST PRACTICE DDOS MITIGATION STRATEGY 1. 2. Monitoring You need continuous monitoring of activity on your web servers that can detect unusual activity before it becomes overwhelming. People You need people who have been trained in how to respond appropriately and who have the authority to make the right decisions quickly. No headless chickens! 3. 4. Procedures There isn't time to think through your response, you need a procedure that will kick in immediately. Some of it can be automated. Infrastructure You might use dedicated hardware and reporting software in-house, rely completely on public Cloud systems, or employ some hybrid of the two, but your real/virtual infrastructure needs mitigation built-in. 5. Business Continuity Even the best mitigation will be noticeable to some users. You must repair, reassure, reconnect and regain customer confidence. Pretending it didn't happen isn't smart.
