There has been a 33% increase in the number of DDoS attacks in H1 2021, according to a report published by Link11.
The report also found that between Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 there was a 19% increase in DDoS campaigns, some of which were over 100 Gbps in attack volume; further evidence that hackers are continuing to exploit the vulnerabilities of businesses during the pandemic.
DDoS attacks are increasing: +19% in Q2 2021 compared to Q1 2021.
Our research for the first half of 2021 shows that companies are continuously exposed to DDoS attacks and that they are far more frequent and complex.
"Due to the increasingly sophisticated attack techniques being used by hackers, many security tools are reaching their limits. This means that solutions which provide maximum accuracy and speed in detecting and mitigating the attacks are more in demand than ever before."
Although the threat level of DDoS attacks has remained high and security providers have provided persistent warnings, some companies are still lack the relevant security solutions to prevent an attack.
