Harden against common DDoS attacks,” is easier said than done. Many of the common attacks are now at a level of sophistication that makes it impossible to block them without impacting legitimate traffic, unless you use a dedicated, automated DDoS protection solution with rapid detection mechanisms and surgical blocking filters that accurately discern legitimate traffic from bad traffic, allowing applications and services to continue operating unimpeded.
“Reduce the DDoS attack surface area,” is a tactic that may help reduce your threat surface from hacking and data exfiltration, but many of the Tip #s that the author suggests, such as access control, are irrelevant to a DDoS attacker, who is just intent on stopping your applications and services from operating, not breaking into them to steal information.
These cloud-based solutions will be critical in the future (they arguably already are). As companies and individuals become more reliant on the internet for critical processes and everyday tasks, downtime, no matter the reason, will not be an option. Managed DNS and DDoS protection services are the keys to a frontline defense against cyber-attacks and helping to ensure your customers can always reach your site and aren’t driven to the competition.
