Cybersecurity agencies worldwide are detecting an increasing threat from a new type of DDoS attack called Carpet Bombing. It accounts for 44% of the DDoS attacks globally in 2021 as reported by Neustar Security Services in their February 2022 report.
Carpet bombing attacks a company’s multiple public IP addresses with smaller network traffic as compared to traditional volumetric attack thus making it difficult to be detected. The sum of the small attack-based network traffic can be equivalent to a volumetric attack on a single IP address. These can easily congest the internet facing applications and network connectivity of the targeted company.
When a company faces such DDoS attack, the customer-facing digital services such as websites, e-commerce shops, web applications or mobile applications hosted, will be disrupted, or significantly slowed down in response, impacting customer experience and the company’s business operations relying on these digital channels.
