DDoS Testing: Denial of Service Testing 

 With Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, ensuring your systems can withstand these threats is critical. At Sofistic, we conduct real-world DDoS simulations to help organizations identify vulnerabilities and strengthen their security posture. Our approach allows you to evaluate the resilience of your systems and improve your mitigation and response capabilities.

What is a DDoS attack? 

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack targets a specific service (e.g., a website) by overloading its capacity, making it inaccessible. These attacks originate from multiple systems that appear unrelated, but act together to saturate the target. Effects of a DDoS Attack: 

  1. Service will operate much slower. 
  2. Due to saturation, some or all user access attempts are denied. 

These attacks are typically executed using a “botnet” or zombie network, a group of previously infected computers that act simultaneously to overwhelm the service. 

Realistic DDoS attack simulations 

 Our denial-of-service tests are designed to help you prepare and ensure your infrastructure is ready to withstand these attacks, keeping your services running uninterrupted. They consist of: 

  • Response Capacity Evaluation: Simulate real attacks that deplete and overwhelm your infrastructure resources to assess how they respond. 
  • Effective Mitigation: Identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that can be exploited, helping to reduce the impact of potential attacks. 
  • Rapid Recovery: Our tests evaluate your recovery capabilities and provide recommendations to minimize downtime.

 How Does  DDoS Testung helps Combat  Attacks? 

A DDoS test is designed to proactively assess vulnerabilities and enhance network architecture to withstand denial-of-service attacks. The process includes: 

Load Testing 

 By performing a controlled load test, ensuring the client doesn't experience a service outage, we detect the level of resistance it has against a DDoS attack. 

 We have the capacity to perform DoS (Denial of Service) or DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) tests based on the intensity defined with the client, with the possibility of executing the attack from multiple locations and countries. 

Preventive Measures 

 If the client is vulnerable to a DDoS attack, we apply a series of preventive measures to help mitigate the impact when the attack happens. 

 These measures make the client's network more flexible, allowing it to withstand high traffic peaks without negatively affecting their infrastructure. 

Reactive Measures 

 In the event that the client suffers a DDoS attack, we provide tools and guidelines to minimize the damage caused and prevent the consequences it could potentially have.
