Denial of Service

Cybersecurity is an emerging issue within the global sphere due to the sudden surge in

technology, which is now taking over the world. Technological innovation is at an all-time high,

and people are storing increasing amounts of information within cyberspace. This has led to the

development of cybercriminals, who seek to gain access to and utilize the information for

malicious purposes. Therefore, it is imperative that cybersecurity measures be implemented to

protect data from any form of theft or damage. This team of analysts has evaluated different

forms of data attacks and examined how they gain access to crucial data such as health records,

payment records, and even personal files, intending to cause some form of damage to their target.

A close examination of the PCAP records reveals the presence of a Denial-of-Service (DOS)

attack. This is a form of cybercrime where the criminals intend to make certain machines or

mechanisms inactive for a set period of time to stop their intended users from having full access

or control (Bonguet & Bellaiche, 2017). It typically targets machines and users with internet

connectivity and is executed by bombarding the victim with unusually high amounts of traffic or

information, causing the system to crash.

For such an attack, an organization could be rendered out of service for the duration of the

attack, which could have huge connotations depending on the intended operations of the victim.

For instance, a Denial-of-Service (DOS) attack on a government agency could be the difference

between life and death for citizens, particularly if it involves crucial bodies like security and

intelligence services ("How cyberattacks could gridlock New York City", 2019). To mitigate the

chances of such attacks happening, organizations need to develop secure network infrastructure.
