Businesses in the country are urged to protect their digital services. The reminder was made after cybersecurity agencies worldwide are detecting an increasing threat from a new type of DDoS attack called Carpet Bombing. It accounts for 44 percent of the DDoS attacks globally in 2021 as reported by Neustar Security Services in their February 2022 report.

Carpet Bombing attacks a company's multiple public IP addresses with smaller network traffic as compared to traditional volumetric attack thus making it difficult to be detected. The sum of the small attack-based network traffic can be equivalent to a volumetric attack on a single IP address. These can easily congest the internet facing applications and network connectivity of the targeted company.
