the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on Kenyan and Nigerian organisations by ‘hacktivist’ Anonymous Sudan

According to a report by cybersecurity company Cloudflare, the original group emerged in Sudan, “in response to the country’s ongoing political and economic challenges. They were also known for using digital activism, which includes hacking and DDoS attacks on governments and other high-profile websites, in order to draw attention to issues such as internet censorship”.

The effects of these attacks are far-reaching, says the report, numbering challenges such as service unavailability, loss of revenue, decreased productivity, remediation costs and reputational damage. The next step is to put together a team of security experts from the Datacentrix Security Operations Centre , which would encompass members from within different disciplines of cybersecurity.

In addition, companies must do frequent checks with their security engineering teams to confirm that they have the right security certifications in place. Again, the company should also look at more effective end user training, as well as raising awareness around its incident response plan with stakeholders, ascertaining what the plan means to the business and how it can be improved.
