Regardless of the nature of your business, you most likely depend on constant connectivity to the internet for a majority of your business processes. That’s why cybercriminals are increasingly targeting businesses’ access to the internet and other critical services as a way of causing damage. And in the cyberattackers’ arsenal, DDoS attacks are among the most popular weapon. DDoS attacks saw an 84% rise in the first quarter of this year according to reports. Not only has the number of attacks increased, but the average duration of DDoS attacks has also increased in the first quarter by 4.21 times. And the longer these attacks get, the more devastating they end up being for the affected business’s operations and bottom line. 

To prevent your business from falling victim to a DDoS attack and crippling your applications and enterprise networks, you need to take every possible preventive measure as possible. And the simplest thing you can do towards that end is to deploy a strong next-generation firewall system. Since DDoS attacks work by inundating your networks and servers with illegitimate traffic, preventing legitimate nodes from gaining access to critical services. A next-generation firewall armed with contextual intelligence can easily prevent unauthorized traffic from accessing your critical networks, thereby preventing your systems from breaking down. In the meanwhile, however, all authorized personnel can have unrestricted access to the applications and bandwidth they need.
