News & Insights
DNS (Domain Name System) is the backbone of the internet, translating domain names into IP addresses so users can access websites and services. But it’s also a prime target for cyber attackers. DNS-based Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are increasingly sophisticated and often go unnoticed, masked as general website performance issues—until it’s too late.
A targeted DNS DDoS attack can bring your services to a crawl or take them offline entirely. These attacks exploit the DNS protocol itself by overwhelming servers with excessive NXDOMAIN requests or malformed queries. The result? Resource exhaustion, excessive CPU and memory usage, and significant service disruptions that frustrate legitimate users.
The fallout doesn’t stop there. The costs of mitigation rise quickly as you invest in emergency responses and scale resources. Worse still, your brand may suffer reputational damage from prolonged outages, shaking customer trust and loyalty.
