Distributed Denial of Service Protection Market - Trends, and Analysis 2017-2025 A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack involves attacking computer systems, which includes websites, servers, mails, online payments, and data transfer. Websites of Visa, MasterCard, Amazon, and PayPal among others are prominent targets for DDoS attacks. High volume of traffic, connection request, floods of mails, and messages to the target system are responsible for distributed denial of service attacks, which may slow down the system or may even lead to crash down of the system. Request Table of Content of This Report: https://www.coherentmarketinsights.com/ongoing-insight/toc/1182 In a typical distributed denial of service attack, the process begins with infecting the system with Malware or other potential virus or restricting user authentication by identifying default password of the system. Therefore, in order to prevent distributed denial of service attacks, software is used for detection of potential threads and filtering malicious traffic that is aimed to restrict Internet-based services, and computer devices. For instance, CloudFlare’s advanced DDoS protection, Kona Site Defender and Verisign DDoS Protection Services can be utilized to mitigate all forms of DDoS attacks, especially those which target UDP, ICMP protocols, amplification of DNS, and online threads including DDoS attack in network and application layer, SQL injection, and XSS attacks. Increasing utilization of mobile devices and rising adoption of Internet are expected to be factors for the overall market growth. For instance, according to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, as of 2016, over 68% of global population is already using mobile phones. In addition to that, according to Internet World Stats, as of June 30, 2017, total Internet users count was totaled at 3,885,567,619 among global population of 7,519,028,970. Furthermore, banking and finance services sector is a potential target for DDoS attacks. Proliferation in online transactions and increasing use of services such as National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT), Real-time Gross Settlement Systems (RTGS), Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) as well as mobile transactions, has led to demand for solutions that aid in carrying out these tractions safely and securely. Moreover, increasing number of payment gateways, e-Commerce websites, and mobile application that accept online transactions and store credit card and debit card information are also susceptible to hacking. Hence, this is used for protecting private information of data or cash related to their customers. This confidential data is highly susceptible to DDoS attack. For instance, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), for the year 2015–2016, 16,468 frauds were reported associated with ATM, debit card, credit card, and net banking. In 2014–2015 the number of frauds were
