Understanding and defeating denial-of-service attacks
- [Instructor] In the digital world, cyber attack has unfortunately become an everyday occurrence. One of the common forms of attack is Denial of Service, which may be a state sponsored attack against critical infrastructure, criminal extortion against a business or just vandalism by hacktivists or amateur hackers. As we go through the course, I'll explain what to Denial of Service is, demonstrate some of the more popular attack tools and then look at how ransomware works. I'll finish by looking at how to protect our systems against Denial of Service. I'm Malcolm Shore and I've spent a career helping governments and businesses protect their systems against cyber attacks. I'd like to invite you to take this LinkedIn learning course and learn how to avoid becoming a victim of Denial of Service attacks. Now let's get started with Denial of Service.
