Suite à notre article récapitulant contre quoi protège CerberHost, nous allons aujourd’hui nous focaliser sur les DDoS.

Même si ces attaques ne font pas partit du TOP 10 OWASP, elles sont devenues des fléaux quotidiens pour de nombreux sites. Ces attaques simples et bon marché permettent en effet de couper des sites avec peu de moyens, pendant plusieurs heures. Notre Cloud de très haute sécurité CerberHost fournit des solutions contre ces attaques, mais il reste intéressant de comprendre leurs fonctionnements. via @nbs_system
