DDoS 'Tax' Adds to an Organisation's Attack Burden, says NET

Risna Steenkamp, General Manager: ESM Division at Networks Unlimited Africa
Did you ever think about the ‘tax’ you pay as an organisation in the event of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack? In a nutshell, DDoS attacks by threat actors don’t only have a negative effect on businesses and their customers – they also take up quantities of internet bandwidth without paying for it. This means that the cost of this traffic falls on the shoulders of every business that does pay for the internet service.
This is according to the NETSCOUT ‘2020 1H Threat Intelligence Report’, in which NETSCOUT, a leading global provider of service assurance, security and business analytics, introduces its DDoS Attack Coefficient. The figure summarises the amount of DDoS traffic going through regional networks at any given time, and the resultant ‘DDoS tax’ that attack victims pay as a result of DDoS traffic.
