What is a Denial of Service (DoS) attack?

 



A denial-of-service (DoS) attack prevents legitimate users from accessing a resource, such as a website, network, or email, or makes it exceedingly slow. Denial of Service (DoS) is an acronym for "denial of service." This type of assault is usually carried out by bombarding the target resource, such as a web server, with a large number of requests at once. As a result, the server is unable to respond to all requests. This has the potential to either crash or slows down the servers. Cutting certain businesses off from the internet might result in substantial financial or economic losses. Many companies rely on the internet and computer networks. Payment gateways and e-commerce sites, for example, rely totally on the internet to conduct business.

In this video, we'll go over what a denial of service assault is, how it's carried out, and how to protect yourself from it.
