Denial of Service (DoS) Testing
Test your systems capacity to withstand a DoS attack
We can conduct DoS testing against your web applications, network services or entire internet connection. The goal of the engagement is to quantify the impact of a DoS attack, test any DoS mitigation services you might be paying for, and confirm your plans and processes work as expected. The results of these simulations should feed into, and improve, your incident response plan.
The testing can take the form of and include any of the following elements based on what questions you need answered:
- Review DoS IR plan
- Tabletop DoS Exercise
- Architecture/Design Review
- Volumetric Test
- Layer 7 Test
