Speaker Notes: These hard costs are lost revenue for the specified period of time According to Arbor Networks, a typical DDoS attack can last anywhere between 2 and 6 hours. (Source: – DDoS: A Threat You Can’t Afford To Ignore – Forrester Consulting 1/21/2009 ) Further, not only can these attacks cost online organizations millions in lost revenues, they also damage reputations and customer relationships. These “soft” / indirect costs are more difficult to quantify, but could be extremely significant in terms of brand equity, customer retention and customer satisfaction. These costs include: • Company Reputation • Transaction / Operational disruption • Compliance / Regulatory Costs • Legal Costs Sources: CERT, CSI
