Question 4

Imagine that you are an information security consultant for a company that does a lot of electronic commerce. You are asked to write a report about denial of service attacks, or DOS (including distributed DOS attacks) so that the senior management can assess the risks posed by this attack to the companys information security.

Write a 250 - 350 words report based on (at least) three sources. You must properly reference the sources. Write in your own words, do NOT simply copy or re-write from the existing source like internet/book/journal etc. Your report should be neither too technical nor vague and should cover the threats posed by DOS attacks and tools/strategies for detecting and containing the impact of DOS/DDOS attacks.
