Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, is recommending that all online businesses should develop a mitigation playbook to minimize the disruption and confusion that typically occurs at the outset of a DDoS attack. This is a best practice that Prolexic implements with all clients.
In simple terms, a playbook is a rehearsed and tested plan that outlines in detail who in an organization needs to be involved in the event of a DDoS attack, their roles and responsibilities, as well as a detailed communications strategy.
“DDoS attacks are deliberate, targeted events – happening
