The impact of DDoS attacks on Dutch enterprises

November 19, 2018

Long ago, the name ‘DDoS attack’ was something for ICT staff to deal with. A number of incidents has changed this: a massive DDoS on Dutch Banking Services in 2013 and large-scale attacks aimed at Dutch services in January 2018. The latter affected the entire country. Both caused a great deal of commotion, and the subject was widely discussed on Dutch TV programmes. There were rumours of a Russian counter-attack or someone who was structurally trying to shut down all internet services. However, it turned out to be an 18-year-old young man who ordered targeted DDoS attacks for the sheer fun of it.

Asset management, inventory, audit logging, two-factor access controls, connectivity redundancy and firewalls are built into the cloud provider platform. Servers are easier to patch and won’t become outdated within a few years; there aren’t any forgotten boxes sitting in a dark corner with a note reading, “DO NOT TURN OFF.” However, assets on the cloud continue to be compromised, just as those stored in traditional data centers.
