DDoS attacks in 2026: risks and protection tools
About the Material

The world first heard about DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service) in the 1990s. Back then, they posed little real threat to organizations and were mostly used for experimentation or entertainment.

Thirty years later, the motivation of attackers has changed dramatically, and the scale of damage is now measured in billions of dollars.

This material is a concise introduction to modern DDoS attacks. It covers everything you need to understand about this threat today:

  • what DDoS attacks are and how they work — who is behind them and why they happen,
  • how they impact businesses and public sector — key risks and real-world consequences,
  • how to detect attacks early — the most effective approaches,
  • how to stop them — and when specialized protection is required.
