Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious form of attack that disrupts the regular network traffic by overwhelming the website with more traffic than the server can handle. The main aim of this kind of cyberattack is to render the website inoperable. Many unplanned data center outages are owing to DDoS attacks. The threat of DDoS is due to easy-to-use tools and the profit potential through extortion. The DDoS protection Software Market is predicted to reach +14% CAGR by 2020 2028.
