Cybersecurity threats aren’t just a big business problem—they’re everyone’s problem. According to the AWS Best Practices for DDoS Resiliency whitepaper, Amazon Web Services detects over one million DDoS attacks per year, and mitigates thousands daily.
If you run a small business or startup, this should be a wake-up call: you don’t need to be famous to be attacked, just vulnerable.
At TechCraftersHub, we help protect your business by integrating industry-leading AWS best practices into every website we create—so you can focus on growth, not threats.
What is a DDoS Attack, and Why Should You Care?
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is when a website or online service is intentionally overwhelmed with traffic—either through fake users, malicious bots, or reflected network requests. The goal? Make your business slow, unresponsive, or completely offline.
Imagine customers trying to buy your product or learn about your brand—only to find a frozen site. In today’s digital-first economy, every second of downtime costs trust, sales, and reputation.
AWS’s Defense Playbook: What the Experts Recommend
Amazon’s whitepaper outlines a robust strategy to protect against both infrastructure-level attacks (like SYN floods and UDP reflection) and application-level attacks (like WordPress XML-RPC floods or HTTP floods).
Key AWS defenses include:
- Amazon CloudFront: Filters traffic before it hits your site
- AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall): Blocks bad actors, bots, and attack patterns
- Auto Scaling with EC2: Automatically expands server capacity during high traffic spikes
- Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): Spreads traffic across multiple servers to avoid overload
- AWS Shield Advanced: 24/7 response team + real-time threat detection
The whitepaper emphasizes that most businesses impacted by DDoS attacks had not implemented these measures.
What Does This Mean for You as a Small Business Owner?
Your online presence is a critical business asset. But if you’re not proactively protected, a DDoS attack could disrupt your services and scare away customers. Worse, you might not even know it’s happening until it’s too late.
