DDoS attacks have become a recurring and significant problem for enterprises and organizations of all sizes. These attacks pose a constant and severe threat to network infrastructure, online services, and business operations in today’s digital landscape.

These attacks can leverage compromised device networks to flood targets with overwhelming traffic. Let us discuss what a DDoS attack is and DDoS attack types.
