Audio Description:   Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can damage your business, so it’s important to take preventive steps to defend against these events. You should hire a DDoS mitigation service and, in cooperation with it, run tests to ensure that your system is adequately protected. In addition, you should devise a policy that informs personnel of their duties and responsibilities during a DDoS cyberattack. Businesses should interview their DDoS mitigation service to confirm that it can properly defend against DDoS attacks. Prolexic provides a variety of tools and services to mitigate this increasingly common threat.Â
