Are You Using a Dedicated Internet Connection such as BTnet, but No DDOS Protection?
With the rise of AI and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, it’s not just big corporations being targeted anymore. Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks are on the rise and businesses of all sizes are in the crosshairs.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how it might feel:
- Slow Loading Times: Pages take forever to load, or might not load at all.
- Service Outages: Websites or online services become completely unavailable.
- Inability to Access Features: Features within a service, like online shopping carts or login portals, may not work.
- Increased Error Messages: Users might see a barrage of error messages or experience unexpected crashes.
- Spam Email Surge: In some cases, a DDoS attack can trigger an unusual increase in spam emails.
- Difficulty reaching support: Because support systems might also be affected, reaching out for help can be challenging.
If you’re running your business over a dedicated internet connection like BTnet, ask yourself this:
Do you have any DDOS protection in place?
No? Then maybe it’s time we had a chat.
Why Could Your Business Be a Target?
- You rely heavily on your internet connection – even a short outage due to an attack could disrupt operations or cost you sales.
- You host critical applications, websites or client portals – attackers know exactly where to hurt.
- You’ve annoyed someone online (even unintentionally) – some attacks are personal or politically motivated.
- You’re part of a supply chain or sector – attackers often target multiple businesses in an industry to cause maximum disruption.
How DDOS Protection Can Help
- Keeps your connection working – even under attack.
- Prevent downtime – protecting productivity and customer access.
- Adds a layer of defence – alongside your firewall and endpoint security.
- Gives peace of mind – so you can focus on running your business, not firefighting threats.
At HM Network we offer a cost effective DDOS Lite package (as well as bronze, silver and gold levels), designed for businesses who want smart, simple, and effective shielding from these growing threats.
