In today's digital era, cybersecurity has become a critical
concern for organisations worldwide. One of the most prevalent and
disruptive forms of cyberattacks is the Distributed Denial of
Service (DDoS) attack. DDoS attacks aim to overwhelm a network,
service, or website with a flood of internet traffic, rendering it
inaccessible to legitimate users.
To mitigate the risks associated with DDoS attacks,
organisations conduct DDoS assessments, which are essential for
identifying vulnerabilities, preparing for potential threats, and
taking appropriate defensive measures through DDoS protection
platforms.
What is DDoS Stress Testing?
DDoS stress testing is a type of security testing used to
determine the vulnerability of a service (network up to application
OSI layer) under DDoS attacks. It involves simulating a DDoS attack
on the network or website to assess its capacity to manage the
traffic and identify potential weaknesses.
