Denial of Service Attack (DoS Attack)
A Denial of Service Attack is when a hacker floods a server or computer with so much traffic that it eventually shuts down.
Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDos Attack)
A Distributed Denial of Service Attack is when a hacker floods a server or computer with traffic from multiple computers.
How to prevent a DoS or DDOS attack
Firewalls are the main method of stopping DDOS attacks. They can limit the amount of traffic servers receive and can block IP Addresses that send massive payloads. Firewalls can redirect packets to a non-existent server (Blackholing/Sinkholing)
Preferred Solution
Our preferred solution is blackholing. Firewalls can drop the packet instead of forwarding them and not use up valuable computing power.

Availability
DDos/Dos attacks affect the availability of a computer because the servers become unusable. This will drive customers away and/or keep employees from completing their work.
