Volumetric DDoS Protocol DDoS Application DDoS Planning for DDoS attacks is crucial to Business Continuity Planning (BCP). Organizations need to assess its continuity planning in a formal risk assessment procedure that reflects the true state of the businessâs infrastructure and services. The consequences of DDoS can be only understood and appreciated when the true attack surface of available services (i.e., network, connectivity, bandwidth, and devices) is known by the business.

Harden external devices, including operating system and application stacks Reduce ânoiseâ in your environment through proper device configuration. Use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for static content. Ensure that the organization is ready for an incident
