Telecom in Ten | Episode 14 | DDoS Protection Part I

Katie Taisey – Network Systems Engineer | Michael Darby – Sr. Customer Experience Manager

Over the past few years, the digital shift has only made DDoS attacks more common. Given the low barriers to entry and the high potential for monetary gains, low-level and novice threat actors find it easier to launch DDoS attacks and use them as a smokescreen for other malicious activities. That is why we have invested in DDoS mitigation within our core network.

• 76% of all attacks account for less than 1GB nationally.
• A DDoS attack can cost a company between $20,000 and $40,000 hourly if impacted.
• 80% of banking and e-commerce mobile connections are the most vulnerable to DDoS attacks. 
• 20% of mid-size companies (defined as 50 employees or more) have reported being a victim of at least one DDoS attack. 
• Most DDoS attacks last under 4 hours. 
• 7% of DDoS attacks on businesses last longer than a week.
