Cyber Security

Denial of Service Attack

A Denial of Service attack happens when cybercriminals maliciously bombard a server with thousands of requests. This is done to stop a website from performing its intended function. It’s frustrating for customers and potentially harmful for the school being targeted. Luckily, there are steps you can take to protect against Denial of Service attacks, so you and the school you work for don’t suffer.
