DDoS Attacks
Discovered Intelligence - Dissemination
- Tactics used to lower the probability of DDoS attacks should be shared amongst all staff because it is a group effort from all employees.
- Group meetings (virtual or in person), emails, etc.
- As the cybersecurity unit you should monitor passwords, firewall, and ports because these are the typical channels that DDoS attacks are executed
Discovered Intelligence - Course of Action
- Mandatory company wide standards should be created amongst all employees to:
- Create stronger passwords and enforce MFA for access to sensitive data, valuable assets, etc.
- Frequent port and firewall monitoring
Discovered Intelligence - Iterative Challenges
- To prevent future DDoS attacks investments in strong network security
- Anti Virus/Anti Malware software - helps detect and remove malware and viruses
- Firewall and intruder detection systems - would scan the traffic at each firewall barrier
