DDoS attacks.
Block them before they reach your network.
Why it's important to protect yourself
Every year, the rates of successful DDoS attacks continue to rise, with the total number of DDoS incidents per customer in the Americas having seen a 196% increase in 2024. You can proactively protect your business from DDoS attacks before they reach your network with DDoS Shield from Acronym. It offers 24/7/365 detection and mitigation in seconds, plus an easy-to-use portal for 360° visibility so you can see where the threat is coming from. You will also gain peace of mind knowing that your business is protected. Plus, because DDoS Shield can be added to your Acronym internet service, you will reduce your overall investment in online security and risk in the process.
