At a moment in history when businesses face more online threats than ever before, the new guide from Cybersecurity Caucus contains practical techniques for preventing distributed reflection denial of service (DRDoS) attacks and ensuring that businesses reduce risks of data loss and privacy breaches.

A recent report from the Homeland Security Digital Library shows that cyberattacks pose a major threat to the American economy, as they not only affect a specific company in terms of data destruction, disruption, and theft, but also spill over onto other organizations. The Cybersecurity Caucus guide to understanding and preventing DRDoS threats is designed to help business owners identify common vulnerabilities in their systems while instating strong security measures.

“The evolution of DRDoS attacks has resulted in more sophisticated and damaging cyber threats,” says a company spokesperson. “Over the years, hackers have continuously refined their techniques, making it increasingly difficult for organizations to defend against these attacks and highlighting the need for solid security protocols.”

For readers who may not have a background in internet technology, the guide gives an explanation of what constitutes a DRDoS attack, along with common implications, like widespread service disruptions and loss of connectivity for a business's website.

The Cybersecurity Caucus team also outlines common systemic vulnerabilities that can leave a business open to a DRDoS threat, such as weak points in DNS, NTP, SNMP, and SSDP protocols.

Practical techniques for prevention of DRDoS cyberattacks are also covered - with emphasis on a comprehensive risk assessment, rate limiting, filters for incoming traffic, and keeping software up to date.

In addition, business owners will read about some recent real-world case studies involving DRDoS amplification as well as the legal and ethical implications of a DRDoS attack and how this form of cybercrime can leave an organization or company open to lawsuits, heavy fines, and even criminal charges due to breaches in privacy laws.
