Imagine your website, servers, or entire business grinding to a halt—not because of a technical failure, but because of a massive, coordinated cyberattack. DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks have become one of the biggest threats to businesses, governments, and online services worldwide. But how do they work, and why are they so hard to stop?
In this episode, we break down the different types of DDoS attacks—from volumetric floods to sophisticated application-layer assaults—and how hackers use botnets, amplification techniques, and even ransom demands to cripple organizations. We’ll also discuss real-world cases, including massive attacks on financial institutions, cloud providers, and gaming networks.
More importantly, we’ll explore how businesses can protect themselves. From advanced threat detection to cloud-based mitigation strategies, we’ll cover the tools and tactics that can help prevent your network from being overwhelmed.
