DoS
(Denial of Service)
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a cyberattack aimed at disrupting the availability of a targeted service, network, or system by overwhelming it with traffic or exploiting vulnerabilities. Unlike a DDoS attack, a DoS attack typically originates from a single source.
DoS attacks can cause significant downtime, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. Common mitigation techniques include traffic filtering, rate limiting, and the use of firewalls. Understanding and preventing DoS attacks is essential for maintaining the reliability and security of online services and infrastructure.
