In recent times, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have continued to gain media attention. High profile organisations are coming under attack,
globally, regionally and locally, across the spectrum of Government, large corporates and any entity being hosted on cloud platforms.

Denial of Service attacks have evolved from singlesource (e.g. sending overwhelming volumes of email), which are relatively easily detected and
defeated, to attacks that come from many thousands of compromised agents (bots) acting on behalf of threat actors.

DDoS is now considered one of the primary threat types facing every industry and business that is exposed to the public Internet.
