In esports, every second matters. That’s why one of the biggest threats to this industry is DDoS attacks. Sudden lags, connection drops, and other disruptions can lead to millions of dollars in losses for teams, sponsors, tournament organizers, and game developers.
Our team visited the UAE for a business lunch hosted by our partner, Cloud Networks Solutions. It was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, forge new connections, discuss the latest DDoS attack trends in the MENA region, and introduce our new scrubbing center in Dubai.

At the event, we shared our expertise with potential clients and partners, discussing DDoS threats and providing advice on enhancing their cybersecurity.
