DDoS Attacks Most-Cited Concern in Limelight Survey of CDN Customers

Limelight said 46 percent of respondents to a recent survey were most concerned about how distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks would affect their delivery of digital content. The survey was of more than 100 content delivery network customers. The second-most-cited concern, noted by 27 percent of respondents, was unauthorized access to content, Limelight said. Fifty-three percent of respondents said they believe their CDN provider is best equipped to help them detect and mitigate DDoS attacks. Thirty-three percent of respondents said a cyberattack would affect their brand’s image, Limelight said. “This survey highlights the immense pressure on enterprises to ensure content availability and protect brand reputation as cyberattacks increase and metastasize,” Chief Marketing Officer Kirby Wadsworth said in a news release.
