•Attackers increasingly leverage availability-impacting attacks, both to cause downtime and to mask other kinds of attacks — usually involving data theft. •Adversaries exploit weaknesses in application stack components to knock infrastructure over, but the application itself can be targeted •Defending against AppDoS attacks requires a multi-faceted approach that typically starts with a mechanism to filter attack traffic
In an increasingly connected world, your company’s online presence is often the first - and sometimes the only – way that your customers and clients engage with you.
