Description: Service interruption refers to a situation where a service, such as a website or application, becomes unavailable to users. This phenomenon is commonly the result of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, where multiple compromised systems send an overwhelming amount of traffic to a target server, saturating its resources and causing it to crash. Service interruption can have significant consequences for businesses, including financial losses, damage to reputation, and user frustration. Additionally, it can affect customer trust in the brand and their willingness to use the offered services. Protection against service interruption is, therefore, a priority for many organizations, which implement various strategies and technologies to mitigate the risk of DDoS attacks. These measures include the use of content delivery networks (CDN), web application firewalls, and specific DDoS mitigation solutions that help filter malicious traffic and ensure service availability. In an increasingly digital world, where connectivity and availability are essential, service interruption has become a critical topic in cybersecurity.
