Advanced DDoS attacks that are typically targeted, known as smart attacks, rose by 31% in the same period.

Further, 73% of DDoS attacks in Q3 2021 were multi-vector attacks that combined multiple techniques to attack the targeted systems.

The largest percentage of DDoS targets was in the US Banks, and financial institutions were the biggest DDoS and DoS attack targets in the past couple of years.

Does this mean businesses and organizations that aren't in the banking and financial services sector are safe from DDoS attacks? Most definitely not! Every business is a potential DDoS target.

Further, the financial benefits of DDoS attacks are high, making them lucrative for attackers.

The best way to keep yourself protected from DDoS attacks is to take a proactive approach to security and onboarding an intelligent, managed, and advanced DDoS protection service such as AppTrana.
