Modern business increasingly operates online: websites, e-commerce stores, cloud services, CRM systems. All of this forms a company's digital foundation. But it can be destroyed in minutes. DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service) have become a powerful tool for competitive warfare, extortion, or simply cyber-vandalism.

When a website becomes inaccessible and services crash under a flood of fake traffic, a company loses money, customers, and reputation. A DDoS attack on a company's server can paralyze operations for hours or even days. Losses can amount to hundreds of thousands of rubles.

How DDoS Works

Distributed Denial of Service is a distributed attack on a server or service aimed at overwhelming it with a massive number of requests, making it unavailable to legitimate users.

A DDoS attack works simply: attackers use a network of infected devices (a botnet) to simultaneously send millions of requests to a server. This leads to a denial of service.

Types of DDoS attacks:

• Network layer (L3/L4) — overwhelm bandwidth capacity or network devices.
• Application layer (L7) — mimic user behavior, "attacking" web applications.
• Multi-vector — combine different types of attacks to bypass basic filters.

DDoS and Business: Where the Real Threat Lies

A DDoS attack on a website can strike a business at the most unexpected moment: on the launch day of a new promotion, product presentation, or during seasonal sales peaks. Typical consequences include:

• Loss of revenue from inaccessible resources.
• Disruption of internal company processes (e.g., if the CRM becomes unresponsive).
• Deterioration of search engine rankings.
• Reputational damage.
• Increased costs for emergency IT support.

If you work with clients online — you need DDoS protection.

How DDoS Protection Works

Effective protection includes:

1. Real-time monitoring — for early anomaly detection.
2. Malicious traffic filtering — via proxy services or CDN.
3. Isolation of attacking IP addresses — and blocking botnets.
4. Scalable infrastructure — to withstand traffic spikes.

The faster an attack is detected and protective mechanisms are activated, the less the damage.
