Technical Assessments Services
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Assessment
Confirm your protections are effective and maintain service availability through a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) simulation conducted in partnership with RedWolf. This assessment validates resilience and ensures your organisation can withstand high‑volume traffic events.
A Distributed Denial of Service simulation uses a large number of traffic‑generating hosts around the world to send calibrated levels of traffic to target applications. CyberCX partners with RedWolf to deliver this service, combining the expertise of CyberCX’s team with the technical capability RedWolf provides.
Benefits of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Assessment
Confirm DDoS protection efficacy
Identify gaps or misconfigurations in DDoS protection controls across cloud and on‑prem environments, ensuring your investment delivers the intended defences.
Ensure service resilience
DDoS simulations reveal weaknesses in hosting infrastructure so they can be addressed before adversaries exploit them, helping services remain stable during extreme traffic conditions.
Prepare for high-traffic events
Traffic surges driven by product launches, emergencies or public events can mimic DDoS behaviour. Simulations help your team prepare for these scenarios.
Our approach
CyberCX’s DDoS simulation exercise consists of a series of workshops to confirm the testing targets, test plan, and environment under test. These workshops will be conducted with your team to ensure a thorough understanding of the environment and purpose of testing. Tests can start as low as 100 Mbps of traffic, and can exceed 300 Gbps, with approvals of service owners.
Once the simulation exercise is completed, an in‑depth set of results is provided, including participant observations and automated monitoring outputs. This is accompanied by an analysis document highlighting areas for improvement and remediation.
