▶ About this video:
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disturb the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network. This is often done by overwhelming the target with a flood of internet traffic. In other words, DDoS can take down a server by sending too many requests for information, exposing it and hampering an organization's usual business operations.
