DDoS Mitigation

According to a report commissioned by Google, "The internet is worth £100bn annually to the UK economy, comprising 7.2% of the gross domestic product, which is expected to reach 10% within five years". Extrapolate this to encompass the globe and it is not difficult to see that the Internet is worth trillions of pounds to the global economy.

Yet, many web sites that provide the method for performing business transactions, are extremely vulnerable. A recent spate of news items has revealed just how fragile the Internet economy is, with various high-profile web sites either being defaced or taken out of action by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.

With web sites now employing back-end databases to provide customer relationship and ordering information, hackers are exploiting the additional workload that web servers have to perform by overloading them with requests.

With the recent discovery of a 4 million host botnet, the prospect of coming under sustained attack is frightening.

It is therefore imperative that steps are taken to protect web sites from such attacks, and Accumuli Security is pleased to offer a DDoS mitigation solution from Webscreen Technology.
