Guide to counter denial-of-service (DoS) and DDoS attacks: Detection of compromised systems (Part 1)

DoS Guide: Part 1 of 4, December 2018

What can you do to counter a denial-of-service attack? There are a number of ways to counter denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The methods to counter the attacks range from technical to human-related and help to propagate early detection of compromised systems, hardening of systems to block infection as well as ways to remediate an attack in progress. Additionally the growing reliance on cloud services such as SAAS and PAAS solutions can provide lift in countering DoS and DDoS attacks. This thought is a part of a four part series on countering DoS and DDoS attacks.
