How much could a DDoS attack cost you?
DDoS attacks are nothing new, but with the increase in sophistication and size, it's getting harder and harder to defend against them. If an attack does break through your defenses, it can wreak havoc on your productivity and your bottom line.
Downtime is no joke — Every second counts when your site or application isn't accessible. The average attack period for a DDoS attack was +2.5hrs*, but we've seen DDoS campaigns last for days. Find out how much money could be walking out the door in that time.
Surviving sophisticated DDoS attacks can be a marathon — 39% of attacks are multi-vector attacks*. Threat actors will try anything to get into your organization including using multiple vectors. They won't just try once either; they might launch multiple small attacks before a larger scale one. We've seen an organization attacked over 1,300 times in one quarter. Attackers are relentless, so your DDoS mitigation needs to be as well.
Ransom DDoS threatens bottom lines — Besides the potential for lost revenue, productivity and fines, ransom DDoS attacks could extort your organization for additional funds. Threat actors can threaten to launch DDoS attacks unless you pay but there are no guarantees that they won't follow through. These ransoms can be anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
