It's no secret that the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is the biggest security threat to commercial networks since the advent of the virus. In fact, hackers are now using viruses as the data delivered by zombies, further complicating DDoS attacks. And there will be no end to the creative ways hackers will use DDoS methods to take major Web servers down. In response to this threat, a whole new industry of counter-DDoS companies has formed. As a news story on our site today shows, these companies are banding together with McAfee to create better integrated products to counter these attacks. When it comes to Internet security, there's no better marketing than the fear of some future unknown attack. Faced with the dread of DDoS, administrators will make sure that they buy the latest and greatest products to thwart the attacks, just as they do with antivirus software.
