Escalating Threats: Unveiling the Rise of DDoS Attacks in a Tense Global Climate

Denial of service (DoS) attacks more than doubled in 2023 compared with previous years.

After a small but steady decline in denial-of-service attacks during 2022 and prior, 2023 saw an explosion of incidents many of which can be directly linked to political events and growing hacktivism. While many DDoS attacks are short lived inconveniences, many organizations and countries face persistent bombardment and increasingly sophisticated attacks. It begs the question: do organizations accurately evaluate the risk posed by DDoS attacks?
