6 Essential Tips on How to Secure your Network from DDoS Attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You should always have a DDoS mitigation plan about how you will react if an attack occurs. The rise of cloud technologies has brought some great services with it. There are many cloud-based DDoS mitigation services out there. If you are choosing such a service make sure it is transparent and seamless. The users should not know or feel that there is an attack going on. Everyone hates a slow website, network and so on. Be aware that there are products out there that offer built-in ‘DDoS-Protection’ but they don’t! They are not as powerful and as capable anymore. The criminals have advanced a lot in the last few years.<\/p>\n

Devices like load balancers, firewalls, intrusion-detection systems (IDS)<\/strong> and intrusion-prevention systems (IPS)<\/strong> won’t work. Your first goal should be to not let the attack reach these devices. They are highly vulnerable. An example would be that if you have a 5 Gbps network and the attack is of around 60 Gbps, there is no chance you will be able to stop it. You will need to have some upstream network providers to stop and mitigate attacks. They will make sure that the attack is stopped before it reached your networks.<\/p>\n
