Description: Non-Responsive Services refer to those systems or applications that cannot respond to user requests, often due to saturation caused by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. In a DDoS attack, multiple compromised systems send an overwhelming amount of traffic to a target server, causing it to become unable to handle legitimate requests. As a result, users experience prolonged wait times or, in the worst case, complete inaccessibility of the service. This phenomenon not only affects user experience but can also have significant economic repercussions for businesses, as service disruption can lead to revenue loss and damage to reputation. Non-responsive services are a clear indicator of the vulnerability of digital infrastructures to malicious attacks, leading to an increase in the implementation of security solutions, such as firewalls and DDoS mitigation systems, to protect the availability of online services. In summary, non-responsive services are a critical symptom of availability issues in the digital environment, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity today.
