I think many people think so. We were the same way.
However, what hit us when we thought it was someone else's problem was a sudden DDoS (Deedos) attack.
One day, without warning, their website suddenly became the target of an attack, and none of their customers were able to access it.
What we gained from that loss,If countermeasures are put off, there will be a steep drop in search rankings, huge restoration costs, and a host of responses to problems that emerge later....
Therefore, we reflect our experience「CDNIntroduction Support Services"started.
Here we explain how your business can be protected at a low cost.
Rapid advances in AI technology have dramatically changed the threats surrounding websites.
Cyber attacks used to be dominated by "mass access from overseas," but today, methods that exploit AI and persistently repeat attacks from terminals in Japan under the guise of "normal access" are becoming more common.
We're not a big company, so they can't target us."
It is precisely for those who think so that we would like you to know about the reality of current cyber-attacks. It does not matter how big or well-known your company is.
To an attacker, your site is "a thinly defended target that they just happened to find.
Although we had taken minimal security measures, a large-scale attack resulted in a loss of more than 20 million yen.
We switched to a major cloud service and finally got the system to operate normally here, but the difficulty of the construction, operational effort, and cost of restarting the system were more than we expected.... So we had to go that far to make it stop.
The DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service attacks) that we have suffered from hit businesses suddenly and without warning.
What is a DDoS attack?
Simply put, a DDoS attack is "mass jamming on the Internet. Tens of thousands of computers are manipulated to send more accesses at once than the site can handle.To use an analogy, "It is like a crowd of tens of thousands of people who have no intention of buying occupying the entrance to a store. customers who have come to shop. “Not one person can get in.” It is the act of putting the "state" into a "state".
If the site is shut down, the following damages will occur immediately
Once these occur, they require enormous cost and time to recover.
Until now, many Japanese companies have assumed that it is common knowledge that attacks on their sites come from overseas, and have protected their sites with settings such as "it will be OK if we block access from overseas. However, this is no longer the case.
The reason is the spread of AI.
Today's attackers use AI to sneak small viruses, in natural Japanese, into computers and smartphones that Japanese people normally use without being noticed.Terminals in Japan" that were previously thought to be safe become targets of attacks all at once.
| Countermeasure Items | Common Sense of the Past | The Reality of Now |
| Main source of attack | Overseas (Shutting it off would have solved the problem.) |
Japanese domestic
|
| Means of Attack | Simple mass access | Human-like, complex behavior by AI |
| Effects of defense | 95% could have been prevented by making it "Japan-only." | Geographic restrictions are meaningless. |
AI manipulates the Japanese language elaborately and spreads viruses through natural emails and websites. Our experience has also shown that inexpensive defenses (WAF), which are standard on rental servers, are largely ineffective against such complex attacks by AI.
Inexpensive WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) that come standard with rental servers are not enough to prevent such sophisticated attacks.
It is not enough to deploy a “world-renowned defense service” to stop an attack. Here we faced a "new problem.
The default settings were too defensive and all access was deemed "suspicious".
Rather than "just installing" security, the most important thing is tuning the system to "how to catch only the attacks without stopping the business.
Our services go beyond simply implementing tools. They are based on lessons learned from real-life losses and hardships we have experienced.
The most basic and effective measure is to "not tell anyone the real address (IP address) of the server.
Many small businesses seem to be operating with their server addresses open to the public. This leaves them open to attack at any time. With the right mechanism in place through our assistance, your server address will be hidden "behind the bulwark" and attackers will not know where to target.
Your website is your "24/7 salesman" who works while you sleep. How would your customers and job seekers feel if that salesman suddenly collapsed?
Instead of "dealing with it after it happens," we hope you will use the insights gained from our losses and hardships to help your company avoid risk.
If you are not sure where to start, we will be happy to start with a lighthearted consultation that is akin to small talk. We will work together with you to propose the best plan to protect your company's valuable assets.
We can provide an expert assessment of how well your site can withstand current threats. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
