Cybersecurity assessment services

DDoS testing

Validate DDoS resilience with controlled, on-demand load and attack simulation across public-facing services.

About the service

Service Description

DDoS testing is a controlled, peak-load exercise that validates whether your infrastructure, scrubbing, and incident response can absorb a real distributed denial-of-service attack without customer-visible downtime.

Why this service matters

The business case

DDoS attacks are now commoditised and used as cover for fraud, extortion, and reputational damage. Most organisations don't know the breaking point of their own estate until they're in production and under attack.

What is delivered

Assessment deliverables

Each assessment produces a working set of artefacts that the customer's engineering, security, and leadership teams can act on. The exact list is calibrated to the scope and framework alignment.

  • Capacity and stress baseline testing
  • Volumetric and application-layer attack simulation
  • WAF, CDN, and upstream tuning recommendations
  • Resilience report and retest validation

Delivery method

Axpert Service Delivery Model

Scoping and risk acceptance with the customer, baseline traffic and capacity measurement, controlled peak-load testing against the agreed targets, and a written assessment of what breaks, in what order, and what the mitigation path is.

Methodology alignment

Standards and frameworks

  • NIST SP 800-61
  • NIST SP 800-44
