#2 Don’t be bashful about asking for help:

Many companies and businesses specialize in assisting customers before; during and after a cyber attack and they serve all level of clients. The service is done throughout various levels and enterprises can choose the level of their choice. Akamai Technologies, Level 3 Communications and Limelight Networks, are some of the companies that serve large customers. CloudFlare is another company that distributes its services across multiple data centers. After implementing the company alone engages itself in detecting and improving the data center traffic.

#3 During a DDoS attack, be quick to dump log files:

When the network capacity increases, attacks get cheaper and lighter such that attackers will get a chance to measure the load and impact of their attacks. Also another advice to enterprises is not to trust on firewalls, servers and other monitoring devices to do all the work. Recently we have got lot many examples to justify the above statement. During a DDoS attack, firewalls, unified threat monitoring devices, servers and other systems usually can't keep up with logging each individual request when an actual attack is in progress. Typically these devices start failing one by one causing a massive network blowout. So it’s important for administrators to quickly dump the log files after every DDoS attack.
