Acronym for Denial of Service—attacks that make systems unavailable to legitimate users.
DoS stands for Denial of Service. See 'Denial of Service' for the full definition. The term is often used alongside DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) which involves attacks from multiple sources.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
DoS/DDoS protection is increasingly important as more business operations depend on online services. Consider DDoS mitigation services for critical internet-facing systems.
