Ask HN: Are startups victim of DDoS attack?

by jester23947 on 11/22/16, 1:44 PM with 4 comments

I am a DDoS security specialist trying to sell IT security services for businesses against DDoS attacks. It doesn't seem that anyone need that.

Is it me or no one is really being DDoS'ed or the Business just don't really care and wait for the attack to move on?

I'd like to hear your feedback on this.

    They do need this, but they have no idea what it's called. (eg: drop the tech jargon). Many don't REALIZE they need it - mainly because it hasn't happened to them. The risk is highest for companies with real customers or events - since it's lost revenue.

    In case anyone is interested, I can help you with SYN flood, amplification attack, volumetric attack, rate-limiting botnets and also against spoofed attacks.
