Is your business prepared for DDoS attacks?
As businesses move more services to the cloud, internet connectivity becomes crucial. Any downtime caused by DDoS attacks can impact internet service and access to applications. If you do not currently have a DDoS mitigation service, take our self-assessment by answering the questions below to determine your risk level for DDoS attacks.
Shield yourself from DDoS attacks.
Business growth means more connected devices to your network, and more bandwidth to accommodate users. It also opens the door to increased risk, where attackers move in with sophisticated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
At Verizon, we understand DDoS attacks, having analyzed many of them in our 2021 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). Verizon DDoS Shield is a cloud-based DDoS mitigation service that can tackle today’s most advanced threats. This DDoS prevention solution can help lift the burden off your team by giving you the intelligence to help distinguish good traffic from bad traffic, and the capacity you need to combat large volume attacks.
How does DDoS Shield work?
When under attack, it redirects inbound traffic to scrubbing centers and returns only clean, legitimate traffic to your network. Provided from the cloud, this DDoS prevention service leverages the Verizon Digital Media Service infrastructure, offering you an ever-expanding DDoS mitigation capacity against large-scale attacks.
How confident are you that your business will continue to function if network communications fails?
Does your business continuity / disaster recovery plan include provisions for DDoS attack mitigation and recovery?
Have you tested your business continuity / disaster recovery plan for a network disruption event?
If an attacker brought your network down and demanded a ransom to restore service, how likely is it that you would pay the ransom?
How confident are you that your network is resilient enough to face a widespread DDoS attack?
How confident are you that your cybersecurity team understands the implications of DDoS attacks to your business?

Build a Strong DDoS Defense.
DDoS attacks were the most common attack pattern across the nearly 80,000 security incidents analyzed in the 2021 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). But it’s one of the easiest threats to mitigate effectively. In fact, 95 percent of DDoS incidents in the new DBIR fell between 13 Mbps and 99 Gbps, which is an easily mitigatable range with a robust DDoS mitigation service. See how DDoS Shield helps stop attacks before they take your business offline.
