An e-commerce company is evaluating current cyber risks before migrating to Google Cloud. Which threat typically aims to overwhelm application endpoints with massive traffic, causing service outages that translate into lost revenue and damaged customer trust?
Phishing campaigns aimed at stealing employee credentials
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks
Supply-chain malware inserted into third-party software libraries
Ransomware that encrypts critical data until payment is made
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks focus on flooding network or application resources with an excessive volume of requests. The overload prevents legitimate users from reaching the service, directly reducing sales and eroding confidence in the brand. Ransomware encrypts data rather than saturating traffic, phishing targets credentials without necessarily taking services offline, and supply-chain malware compromises code integrity but does not rely on traffic volume to disrupt availability.
