ITBusinessEdge: Preventing Distributed Denial Of Service Attacks
How do you prevent DDoS attacks on your small business website? Paul Mah recommends SMBs begin by designing their networks with scalability in mind, leveraging the cloud for protection and relying on a content delivery network.
“I last wrote on the topic of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) when I highlighted some lessons that small- and mid-sized businesses can learn from the recent WikiLeaks-inspired DDoS attacks. I stated my personal belief that such denial of service attacks are defensible, assuming there is advance preparation and a budget to draw on for the unavoidable bandwidth and mitigation costs.
While I won’t be able to detail the various methods and technical setup, I will instead present an overview of the existing options available to SMBs on the DDoS front.”
