This whitepaper explores the evolution of DDoS attacks since their inception in 1996, delving into the emergence of DDoS-as-a-Service (DDoSaaS) and its implications for modern cybersecurity.

Analysts at Cyjax have concluded :

  • Evolution of DDoSaaS:
    • It encompasses a wide spectrum of threats, from IP Stressers aiding novice actors to hiring well-established botnets by renowned hacktivists.
    • No barrier to entry allows any actor to utilise DDoSaaS, posing a unilateral threat integrated into various attack chains.
  • Significance of Understanding DDoSaaS:
    • Crucial due to its accessibility and potential integration into any cyberattack.
    • Offers insights into the democratisation of cyber threats, where even beginner actors can engage in sophisticated attacks.
  • Need for Adaptive Security Measures:
    • Underlines the importance of recognising and adapting to evolving cyber threats.
    • Suggests proactive measures to counter the growing complexity and accessibility of cyberattacks enabled by “as-a-service” models.
