DDoS Attacks Decoded — How One Minute of Downtime Can Cost Thousands

When your website suddenly slows, freezes, or goes offline, you might be under attack and not simply from a hacker breaking in, but from thousands of fake users flooding your site at once. That’s a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

What’s Really Happening During a DDoS Attack

Attackers use botnets which are networks of hijacked devices to overwhelm your servers with fake traffic. Your system can’t keep up, legitimate users get locked out, and your business goes dark.

Why It Matters

Downtime costs money and credibility. In industries like e-commerce, finance, and online services, a few minutes of outage can translate into thousands of dollars in lost revenue, and not to mention customer frustration and churn.

Types of DDoS Attacks

·      Volumetric attacks: Overwhelm bandwidth

·      Protocol attacks: Exploit network layers

·      Application-layer attacks: Target specific apps or transactions

How to Stay Protected

Traditional firewalls aren’t enough. Modern DDoS protection involves:

·      Traffic filtering and rate limiting

·      Cloud-based scrubbing centers to handle high-volume attacks

·      Real-time analytics for faster mitigation
