Some content might be outdated -The number and sophistication of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are rising. Traditionally, these attacks are difficult to fend off. They often end up being costly in both mitigation time and power spent, as well as the opportunity cost from lost visits to your website during the attack.
