What is DDoS? (Show Answer)
Distributed Denial-of-Service, or DDoS, flood websites, web servers, internet applications and other online resources with huge amounts of garbage traffic. This sudden increase adds a significant amount of strain on the target, either slowing it down or shutting it down completely. According to a recent report by NexusGuard, denial-of-service attacks have increased with 29% since Q2 2017.
How long can a DDoS attack last? (Show Answer)
Denial-of-service attacks are increasing in both size and in complexity. The NexusGuard report indicates an average attack size of 4.10Gbps in Q2017, while a 500% increase to 26Gbps has been noted in Q2 2018. As such, DDoS attacks have also increased in duration – from a few hours to more than a week (the current record being 12 days).
What is the impact of a DDoS attack? (Show Answer)
Although downtime is the most obvious risk associated with DDoS attacks, a more severe loss is the financial impact brought about by inevitable reputational damage. This can translate into a loss of a few thousand to hundreds of thousands per hour. Legal consequences are an often overlooked risk – capable of exacerbating reputational damage and induce crippling financial penalties.

Tip: Use the Storm Security Centre for free real-time security audits. Access tools that simplify GDPR, ICO, and PCI DSS compliance to reduce the potential for reputational damage and crippling fines.

In all the time we have been with Storm we have not had any outage on any of our services. Small businesses don't need or want to be server experts, it's nice just to have a bespoke service on the end of an email or phone call to keep our services running.
