Cloudflare has warned that the recent surge in internet traffic is making it more difficult for companies to protect themselves against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The company, which provides security and performance services for websites and applications, says that the increased demand for bandwidth and resources is creating an environment in which malicious actors can more easily launch devastating DDoS attacks.
As a result, Cloudflare has seen a significant increase in DDoS traffic over the past year, with some days seeing over 10 million requests per hour. The company attributes this surge to several factors, including the rise of remote work and the increasing use of cloud services.
“We’re seeing a lot more people working from home, which means they’re bringing their devices into the network,” said Matt Tucker, Cloudflare’s head of DDoS protection. “This creates a bigger attack surface for attackers to exploit.”
Cloudflare is taking steps to mitigate this threat, including investing in new technologies and hiring more staff to manage incoming traffic. The company also advises businesses to take proactive measures to protect themselves against DDoS attacks, such as implementing robust security protocols and monitoring their networks closely.
In light of the growing threat, Cloudflare has issued a warning to companies to be vigilant and prepare for potential attacks. The company’s experts emphasize that DDoS attacks can have serious consequences, including downtime, financial losses, and reputational damage.
