<strong>2023</strong> DDoS Attack Predictions<br />
By Matthew Andriani, Founder and CEO, MazeBolt<br />
DDoS attacks remain a major threat to enterprises, as attacks continue to grow in frequency and<br />
sophistication. The DDoS attack surface is constantly expanding: the dynamic nature of cloud<br />
environments and the workflows that accompany them makes it easier <strong>for</strong> threat actors to bypass<br />
mitigation controls and launch attacks that severely impact an organization's uptime. On average, 60%<br />
of businesses lose over $120,000, and 15% of the business – well over $1 million and some over $3<br />
billion in market CAP losses, <strong>for</strong> very short intermittent DDoS attacks. Below are key trends we’ve noticed<br />
in 2022 that are anticipated <strong>for</strong> <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
Prediction 1: DDoS attack havoc will increase.<br />
From the ‘Overwatch 2’ gaming DDoS attack to the attack on Russia’s second-largest VTB bank, 2022<br />
saw a variety of organizations suffering temporary outages. Heading into <strong>2023</strong>, we will most likely see<br />
continued growth in DDoS attacks. A Cisco report predicts the total number of DDoS attacks will reach<br />
over 15 million by <strong>2023</strong>, leaving organizations and customer data vulnerable. The proliferation of DDoSas-a-service<br />
subscriptions which, per the Microsoft Digital <strong>Defense</strong> Report 2022, can cost as little as 500<br />
USD, makes it easier <strong>for</strong> threat actors to anonymously launch devastating attacks and disrupt businesses’<br />
uptime. Although governments are already taking down DDoS-as-a-service operators, it’s a drop in the<br />
ocean, and most likely new sites will pop up. Unless organizations achieve true visibility into their dynamic<br />
DDoS attack surface and build DDoS resilience through vulnerability closure, this whack-a-mole game<br />
