DDoS Protection for SMBs: Always-On Defense Without the Overhead
SMBs absorbed approximately 894 million attacks in 2025, a 71% year-over-year increase — and DDoS drove 85% of that volume, nearly three times the enterprise rate. API DDoS on SMB platforms surged 1,122% in a single year, according to the Indusface State of Application Security 2026 report. With most SMB security operations run by teams of fewer than five people managing both infrastructure and security simultaneously, cybercriminals increasingly view smaller businesses as soft targets.
