Hi people!
Today our cyber awareness team will tell you about dos/ddos
What is dos/ddos attack?
In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to a network. Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled.

How can we prevent these kind of attack?
Strengthen their security posture: This includes fortifying all internet-facing devices to prevent compromise, installing and maintaining antivirus software, establishing firewalls configured to protect against DoS attacks and following robust security practices to monitor and manage unwanted traffic.
