What is Denial-of-Service

Chapter 3
Handbook of Research on Advancing Cybersecurity for Digital Transformation
Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks are electronic attacks that can load systems, services, or networks to such an extent that the affected system, service, or network may become inaccessible. This can be achieved on the one hand by paralyzing the systems and on the other hand by increasing the network traffic, as a result of which the legitimate data traffic does not reach the target system. A DoS attack can come from a single system or even a group of systems. The latter case is called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

Abstract
True to its nickname ‘cyber nation', the country of Israel is seen as a kind of role model in terms of intelligence and defence capabilities by many countries. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive but far from a complete picture of the cyber defence ecosystem of Israel, a country with more than 430 start-ups and unicorns valued at billions of US dollars. The authors outline the major incidents of the recent period, as well as current challenges and threats. The purpose of the chapter is to introduce good practices and cooperation for opportunities to policymakers and cybersecurity experts as well.
