Industry experts and analysts agree the security of your digital data and systems is becoming increasingly as important as the physical security of your IT deployments. Gartner summarises the key challenges as follows: Many organizations lack the technical expertise and the operational experience to respond effectively to DDoS attacks. Business leaders and IT leaders often fail to communicate well during the critical early stages of a DDoS attack. DDoS toolkits have made it possible for individuals with little technical knowledge to launch attacks. Gartner’s recommendations include deploying a range of techniques that include the use of traffic scrubbing centres that ‘clean’ traffic when an attack is under way and to combine this with rapid response or proactive monitoring services for invocation.
