Preparing your customers for surging DDoS attacks

A successful DDoS attack will make your customers’ websites or servers unavailable to legitimate users. As noted in Cloudflare’s Q1 2023 DDoS threat report, threat actors “kicked off” this year with a series of hacktivist campaigns — including the Killnet and AnonymousSudan attack mentioned earlier. That particular attack focused on the application layer (layer 7), where common Internet requests (such as HTTP visits to a website) are made.
