When #businesses are hit by noticeable distributed denial-of-service #attacks, three-quarters of the time those attacks are accompanied by another security incident, according to #kaspersky Lab.
Those other attacks may or may not originate from the same party, but they can go undetected if IT staff is totally focused on defending against the #ddos, says Evgeny Vigovsky, head of Kaspersky DDoS Protection.
“In many cases, it may be a coordinated effort, but even if these attacks originate from different sources, IT staff has to allocate resources to solve two problems at the same time, under a lot of stress,” Vigovsky says.
