DDoS attacks are capable of paralyzing web servers or entire networks. Unlike simple denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) have an enormous impact. With this method, multiple computers attack a web page or an entire network infrastructure concurrently and as an array (bot networks). This can quickly cause a server outage. Typical DDoS attacks aim at overloading the access link, the firewall resources, and the web and database servers.
At the customer's request, all unwanted traffic variants, such as UDP or ICMP, can be blocked. In the event of an attack, the Link11 Security Operation Center informs you immediately and initiates all required protection measures. If an enterprise opts for the always-on variant via BGP, Link11 offers 24/7 support and detects and acts automatically in the event of an attack.
