Protect your eCommerce: Preventing DDoS attacks on Black Friday and Cyber Monday 

The Black Friday and Cyber Monday seasons represent a golden opportunity for retailers, but also a critical period in terms of cybersecurity. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks have shown an alarming increase, affecting service availability and causing significant losses.

United States: A surge of attacks on key days 

In the United States, the situation is equally alarming. In 2022, Microsoft reported an average of 1,435 DDoS attacks daily, with peaks of up to 2,215 attacks on days like Black Friday. Additionally, ransom DDoS attacks have increased by 67% year-over-year, severely affecting online retailers. Implementing robust cybersecurity measures is crucial to protect operations during these high-demand periods. 

Mexico: A worrying increase in DDoS attacks 

In Mexico, DDoS attacks during “Buen Fin” and Black Friday have increased by 52% compared to the previous year. This surge has challenged numerous eCommerce companies, which have seen their services interrupted at critical sales moments. Preventing and mitigating these attacks is essential to ensure business continuity and customer satisfaction. 

Europe: The growing threat in eCommerce 

In Europe, DDoS attacks have also shown a significant increase. In Spain, for example, over 600 million euros in eCommerce revenue were under threat during Black Friday. Across the continent, a 20% increase in these attacks was observed in 2024, with notable sophistication in the techniques used by attackers. Preparation and rapid response are fundamental to minimizing the impact of these attacks. 

Solutions for prevention and response 

The joint solution from Juniper and Corero against DDoS attacks offers comprehensive and advanced protection, combining real-time detection and mitigation to safeguard enterprise networks. This solution identifies and neutralizes threats before they can cause significant damage, ensuring operational continuity and information security. Additionally, it provides complete visibility of attacks, allows for rapid and automatic response, and reduces operational costs, making companies better prepared to face the most sophisticated cyberattacks.
