What is DDoS attack?
A DDoS attack is when a website or online service gets flooded with too many requests from many computers at once. It’s like a traffic jam on a highway, stopping real users from getting through. This overload can make the website slow or even knock it offline completely. Attackers often use botnets—networks of compromised devices—to launch these attacks, disrupting business operations and causing downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
DDoS attacks are frequent and growing, with millions happening yearly. On top of this, the level of sophistication has also increased, making them longer lasting.
Most businesses face them, making strong protection essential across all industries and sizes.
- Volumetric Attacks: A volumetric DDoS attack overwhelms server or network bandwidth, causing slowdown or complete service failure.
- Application Layer Attacks: Application layer attacks target the OSI model’s top layer, aiming at web applications and user-facing services. Application layer attacks mimic real users to exploit app vulnerabilities, disrupt services, steal data, or gain unauthorised system access.
It can last from minutes to days depending on the hacker’s strategy, your company’s defences and its mitigation plan.
We offer DDoS mitigation services targeting volumetric and application attack types, reducing their risks and impacts.
