The Threat of Extortion is Real

Don't Negotiate. Mitigate.

DDoS extortion attacks are on the rise, continuing to grow faster than most can keep up with. They find organizations without proper DDoS protection, position themselves to launch an attack, and send the dreaded extortion note. Then they demonstrate a small-scale DDoS attack—not to inflict damage but to let you know the threat of a larger, longer attack is real. What happens next is up to you.

From financial institutions to insurance providers, healthcare, biotech, transportation, manufacturing, and technology; anyone could be their next target. If you haven’t yet received the email, it might only be a matter of time before you do. NETSCOUT's Arbor Smart DDoS protection assures a swift mitigation, so you never have to negotiate with these cyber extortionists.
