With the rising use and availability of IoT devices and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (which is difficult to trace), there has been a surge in ransomware and blackmail attacks, with victims including Mexico's national lottery websites and Bitcoin.org, among others. The internet gaming vertical remains a very appealing target for attacks, as Respawn Entertainment has discovered over the last two months after experiencing severe disruptions to Titanfall's gameplay.
More markets are being targeted, including higher education, healthcare, telecommunications, and government. In May 2021, a DDoS attack on Belnet, Belgium's public-sector internet provider, wiped out the websites of over 200 institutions, including the British authorities, parliament, universities, and research facilities.
However, the high cost of adopting this protection and mitigation solution and budget constraints among small enterprises are restraining the DDoS protection and mitigation security market growth. It is difficult for SMEs to invest large sums of money in cybersecurity because they must also engage in other IT infrastructure. SMEs may not opt to purchase DDoS protection from prominent protection providers who offer protection and mitigation solutions with cutting-edge capabilities.

Growth Drivers
An increase in the number of attacks has led to a rise in the market demand for protection and mitigation safety solutions, driving the DDoS protection and mitigation security market growth during the forecast period. Massive attacks are becoming more common all around the world. The attackers use sophisticated tools to launch attacks, which may go unnoticed early. Domain Name System (DNS) augmentation attacks, NTP attacks, and Chargen-focused attacks are examples of powerful attacks.
Individuals, businesses, and governments are suffering significant financial losses due to the various attack strategies utilized by hacktivist groups. The primary motivations for launching these multi-vector DDoS attacks include financial gain, political rivalry, international rivalry, extremist religious group goals, and cyberterrorism.
Further, the Microsoft Report saw a substantial increase in attacks per day for the first quarter of 2021. In the first half of 2021, the average daily threat mitigations grew by 25% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. They prevented an average of 1,392 attacks per day, with the highest total of 2,043 attacks on May 24, 2021.
During the first half of 2021, they prevented up to 251,944 unique threats to their global infrastructure. Multi-vector attacks typically employ multiple attack routes to distract IT safety response teams. Following an attack, IT reaction teams take rapid action by rebooting systems, resulting in significant disruption.
