The Known and Unknown Costs of DDoS
Speaker:
Martin McKeay, Senior Security Advocate, Akamai Technologies
Summary:
Criminals are increasingly turning to cyber-crime as their method of choice, thanks to the increased accessibility provided by numerous automated attack tools and 'for hire' subscription services. The number of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against organisations' websites, for example, are increasing rapidly and the true business costs are often unknown. In addition to the more obvious impacts associated with the lost web transactions associated with downtime, there are also reputational and other ephemeral costs that are harder to quantify.
In this webinar, we'll be examining both the monetary and reputational costs of an attack on your infrastructure, as well as some of the measures you can take to combat these attacks. With data drawn from Akamai's State of the Internet Report, we'll be talking about real world examples of attacks and how these could affect your business. View now -
