Safeguard your business reputation, finances, and continuity by fortifying your digital infrastructure with Audra's advanced security measures.
One of the greatest fears that most technology dependent business owners have is waking up to a locked out system. Whether it’s your email systems, POS systems, inventorying systems, or even just your digital door lock - almost every system we use now lives on a digital backbone, making everything susceptible to hacking.
Getting locked out of a digital system isn’t just an inconvenience any more, either. Oftentimes, losing access to your web based business equates to extended downtime for the overall business, resulting in financial losses, reputational damage, productivity and operational disruptions, and even legal or regulatory consequences.
As a small business, you can’t afford any of those problems, which is why taking immediate remedial steps isn’t an option but a priority.
Imagine you're at a store, and suddenly hundreds of people rush in all at once, overwhelming the store's space and making it hard for anyone to move or buy things. A DDoS attack is like that, but in the online world. Instead of people, a huge number of computers flood a website or online service all at once, causing it to become slow or even crash. This makes it difficult for real users to use the website because it's overcrowded with fake "traffic" from these computers.
A DDoS mitigation service uses a four-step procedure to safeguard your online business against these "floods" of traffic: identifying abnormal traffic patterns, redirecting harmful traffic from its intended target, filtering out the DDoS traffic, and analyzing the attacks after they happen.
These are typically always-on, cloud based systems that should work in the background - however, they can be costly as some providers use a pay as you go pricing.
If your business operates online and serves customers worldwide—such as e-commerce ventures, publishing platforms, or providers of virtual services—a Content Delivery Network (CDN) could be a crucial tool to minimize the effects of DDoS attacks.
Conventionally, businesses like these would have their services stored on a single central server. While this setup provided direct control over servers for upgrades and upkeep, it also meant that a typical DDoS attack could bring operations to a standstill for an extended period.
That's precisely why CDNs are rapidly becoming indispensable. They come at a reasonable cost, are easy to configure, and provide a plethora of advantages compared to the typical centralized server arrangement:
Hardware firewalls and web application firewalls are, in essence, relatively comparable. They serve as gateways between your network and the internet and are usually equipped with security features that are also present in the physical versions.
But if you look more closely, there are a number of technical distinctions between them:
Interestingly, there are solutions like Audra Business that offer hybrid solutions combining a hardware firewall device with cloud firewall services. This gives the end user, you and I, the finest features of both worlds and lets us use application, network, and transport layer security settings for robust and comprehensive protection.
How can Audra help to protect your business?
Solutions like Audra Business combine the best of both worlds, and offer users security features that are often either found in hardware firewall solutions or Web Application Firewalls. This is made possible because Audra Business consists of two parts - the actual hardware firewall that sits in your office, and the AI-powered Audra Cloud.
Here are some of the ways that a solution like Audra Business can help you with:
