What you'll learn
Learn how to protect against a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack in just one day. DDoS Defence will educate you on the growing threat and consequences of a DDoS attack. In just one day you'll:
- Understand a DDoS attack, how it's executed and the implications to your business
- Experience demonstrations of DDoS attacks and their effects in real-time
- Learn the tools to detect, analyse and mitigate DDoS attacks
You can also maintain your IT certification with CPEs earned from at least seven hours of learning on this one-day DDOS course.
The real costs of a DDoS attack
The impact of a successful DDoS attack has devastating and long-lasting effects. Having your systems forced offline can cost upwards of £100,000 per hour. After which 52% of your customers will lose trust in your organisation as a result of your systems outage. In the end, the long term total cost to your business averages out at £1.2 million in damages.
It's not just small businesses that need to be worried about DDoS. Escalating attack sizes have forced some of the world's largest websites offline. The BBC, MI5, HSBC and PayPal are all recent victims of successful Denial of Service attacks. PayPal experienced damages of £3.5 million, with 100 workers spending three weeks repairing the damage following the attack.
The problem is only getting worse. DDoS attacks have increased 125% over the past year. Every day more than 2,000 attacks are now observed worldwide by Arbor Networks. Amplified by a 30% increase in attack size, it's unsurprising that 1/3 of all system outages are now the direct result of a DDoS attack.
Learn the skills to defend against DDoS attacks, before it's too late.

FAQs
4 questionYes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's accelerated courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.
Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.
Firebrand's accelerated courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
If you need to learn new skills and you want to be able to put them into practice quickly, then Firebrand is the right training company for you.
Our unique accelerated training method means that we are your fastest way to learn. By delivering training for up to 12 hours per day, seven days per week, with exam centres on-site, we ensure that you are trained and certified quicker than anywhere else, having spent less time out of the office away from the day job.
