JAKARTA - Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a crime attempt to disrupt traffic flowing to service servers or targeted networks by flooding internet traffic.

Launching the Cloudflare blog, bots will send simultaneous requests to these targets with the intention of pushing them to capacity that exceeds capacity, resulting in service refusal to normal traffic.

Being offline by DDoS attacks could have a negative impact on revenue, customer service, and basic business functions. The average DDoS attack could cost $13,000 for small companies and over $2 million for large companies. The total number of DDoS attacks worldwide is expected to increase from 11.9 million in 2020 to more than 14.5 million by 2022.

If your goal is to protect web servers, the proxy reverse will prevent attackers from identifying and targeting your server's IP addresses. Instead, they will only be able to target the proxy reverse.

If the goal is to protect network infrastructure, the re-calibration of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) can be used to divert traffic to a scrubging center where dangerous traffic can be filtered. This will change the route of all traffic to a limited number of distant slubbing centers can increase considerable latency.

A more effective approach is to implement cloud-based mitigation solutions that offer unlimited capacity to protect against DDoS attacks on any scale or complexity, and can provide network-based services for maximum agility in reducing fast-growing DDoS attacks.

With mitigation services on demand, traffic flows as usual until a potential DDoS attack is detected. At the time, traffic was re-routed to cloud mitigation services, filtered, and forwarded back to the server of origin.

You only need to pay for DDoS mitigation when needed, and no additional management or resources are required. But there are sacrifices, especially around the time for mitigation. Stopping attacks takes longer because traffic spikes have to hit certain thresholds before analysis begins and someone manually activates mitigation services.

DDoS attacks cause delays and blackouts that not only reduce performance, but also undermine the organization's ability to achieve sustainable growth.

Latency will damage productivity, on average employees waste one week each year waiting for their network to respond. Securing the network of DDoS attacks without reducing performance requires careful balance measures.

Overcoming DDoS attacks that are increasingly complex requires more than just layered. This requires you to continue to analyze traffic for malicious patterns that can help you develop the intelligent adaptive defense you need to fend off future attacks. The ongoing DDoS attack is now a secret to beating the next one.
