Overview:

The Internet has become an indispensable business tool and its availability is often taken for granted. Organisations are increasingly dependent on the Internet through the adoption of email communications and interactive web-based services. However, with dependence comes weakness; the sudden and unexpected loss of Internet access and system function carries significant financial, social and security implications. A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a deliberate act exploiting a weakness to disrupt an organisation's functioning. The information in this paper will help one safeguard against a Denial of Service attack and outlines appropriate responses should one occur. It explains the issues, details some ramifications to the business and highlights questions to ask the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
