\"Why
\nDDoS attacks can be detrimental to any company. Your users are all relying on your network\u2019s reliability. Without reliability, it\u2019s easy to get left behind. Sometimes, companies don\u2019t even know a DDoS attack is happening until it\u2019s too late. Real time\u00a0visibility from network monitoring tools can give teams the advantage they need to respond accordingly.<\/p>\n

Although network monitoring tools aren\u2019t the only tool you need, any defense starts with visibility. Many companies don\u2019t know they have a vulnerability until its exploited; this has been the case for cryptojackers attacking cloud platforms. It\u2019s not entirely different for a DDoS attack. You\u2019ll hear about it from your end-users, but that\u2019s not an adequate approach. Network monitoring tools allow you to get ahead of the attack and deploy your defense mechanisms.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get caught off guard<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It\u2019s easy to become complacent during a moment of rest. DDoS attacks can happen at any time, but they could also never happen. That doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t be prepared, though. Network monitoring tools give you the visibility you need during a DDoS attack.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t act on a threat without visibility. DDoS attacks are essentially a poisoned water supply. You don\u2019t know the water is poisoned until someone drinks it and tells you they\u2019re poisoned. Then you need to react to frustrated users. A network monitoring tool will tell you that the water is poisoned, it won\u2019t filter the water for you, but it\u2019ll tell you that it needs to be filtered.<\/p>\n

Real time visibility and proper intel can prevent serious losses of service. If you know what\u2019s happening, you\u2019ll be able to respond accordingly. Since attacks will likely happen randomly, you\u2019ll be able to spend time preparing and setting up a game plan. Don\u2019t get caught off guard.<\/p>\n

What network monitoring tools can do<\/strong><\/h5>\n

GitHub was recently the victim of the largest DDoS attack ever recorded<\/a> (at that point). Luckily, they were ahead of the attack and were able to activate their DDoS mitigation tool. Network monitoring provider,\u00a0ThousandEyes<\/a>, was alerted to the attack. They were informed of the dip in availability to GitHub services due to their continuous network monitoring platform.<\/p>\n

ThousandEyes gave\u00a0detailed insight on the attack<\/a>. Of the attack, they state, \u201cDDoS attacks are becoming more frequent and ever more powerful. While the GitHub attack had minimum service interruption and showcased a well-executed mitigation process, not all\u00a0DDoS attacks are created equally<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although network monitoring tools aren\u2019t your greatest defense, they\u2019re just as important as any mitigation service. Protecting yourself against DDoS attacks is far more than a single tool can provide. Nobody would go into battle without defensive insights through scouting. Think of a network monitoring tool as a scout alerting you to every attack. Gain the insight you need to stay safe with our network monitoring buyer\u2019s guide.<\/p>\n
