I also provide free simulations to non-profit organizations and startups focused on privacy and digital rights.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;hr&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;I have always been fascinated by DDoS attacks. You may have the most sophisticated defenses, yet your organization can be directly affected by a DDoS attack that takes down your payment gateway for 3 hours. DDoS attacks are a genuine concern that must be put on the organization&amp;rsquo;s radar, not on a postmortem after an attack.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
