Question

Discuss how a cloud-based solution provider may reduce the risk of a DDoS attack

(Distributed Denial of Service)

Answer 1

Answer) DDos attacks are the ones in which

• multiple computers work in groups.
• multiple computers gets combined and attack a particular system or server or a website
• kind of flooding is done over the network which slows down the speed and the response of the network
• this flooding makes it difficult for the real users to access the data thus causing inconvenience to them.

A cloud based solution is basically providing solutions to such problem on the internet only. Various implemetations are done to stop that unauthorised traffic or to prevent the system from getting slow. With the implementations of solution on the cloud only, the time taken to solve a problem gets reduced. Various filters, firewalls and other security measures are installed over the network to prevent such jamming of traffic. This extra traffic increases the response time and thus slowing down the overall system.
