PR - May 17, 2018 - Kaspersky : Businesses Stuck in a DDoS-Daze as Ineffective Strategies Leave Them Vulnerable to Attack

Research* from Kaspersky Lab has revealed that businesses are falling behind in the race to protect themselves from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, due a reliance on others to do the job for them and a general lack of knowledge about how to protect themselves against becoming a victim. A third (34%) of organisations do not use anti-DDoS solutions, but rely on their ISP to shield them from attacks, however this approach leaves many vulnerable and at risk of suffering from data loss and business disruption.

DDoS attacks are one of the biggest cyberthreats facing organizations today, with the potential to quickly bring a halt to business operations and lead to significant financial and reputational damage. However, despite 43% of businesses feeling vulnerable to this type of attack, many (41%) admit that although they’d like to know more, they currently have little knowledge about the threat, relying instead on technology partners including their ISP (34%) and data centre provider (26%).

Kaspersky DDoS Protection can help businesses defend themselves against DDoS attacks. The fully-integrated solution features advanced intelligence and special sensor software to protect organizations from the most complex and high-volume attacks.
