The average response time using automated defence was just six minutes, compared to 35 minutes using manual processes, a staggering 29-minute difference.
The results spoke volumes: automated DDoS defence improves attack response time five-fold. Sure, automated DDoS defence is faster than manual DDoS defence, but by how much?įounder and CEO of NimbusDDoS Andy Shoemaker recently conducted a study to find out. But first, let’s clarify just how much time an automated defence system can save. Let’s take a closer look at all the ways that automation can put time on your side during a DDoS attack. The longer your systems are down, the more your profits will sink.
Response time is critical for every enterprise because, in our hyper-connected world, DDoS attacks cause downtime, and downtime means money lost. In this article, we’ll explore the five ways, listed below, that automation can significantly improve response times during a DDoS attack, while assessing the means to block such attacks. DDoS attacks can be catastrophic, but the right knowledge and tactics can drastically improve your chances of successfully mitigating attacks.
