These points are explained in greater detail below:Anticipate single points of failure: Typically, there are many single points of failure components which exist within an organization; they are generally the first ones which are targeted by the attackers. Some of the common single points of failure in an organization are the following:APIsDNS and origin serversData centre and related network infrastructureWebsite and other web applicationsFor each of these single points of failure, it is important to have a backup mechanism to ensure business continuity in the event of a failure. Some common business continuity measures which are deployed by the organization could be something like having a continuous mechanism to take backup of data, deploying a secondary infrastructure as a backup in case of failure of primary infrastructure and so on.Verify the capability of your Internet service provider to offer DDoS mitigation:
Cloud Computing Risk: A Decision-making Framework

Cloudflare provides web-infrastructure, content-delivery network, DDoS mitigation, Internet security and domain name server services. 21 In March 2013, Cloudflare’s servers were down for close to one hour due to crashing of their edge routers, taking down 785,000 websites.48 Similarly, on August 31, 2019, an AWS datacenter in North Virginia experienced a power failure. Additionally, their backup generators failed, taking down several servers along with their data.49 While technical outages and server downtime cannot be predicted, and are difficult to avoid, in their SLA, Cloudflare promises to deliver “100% Uptime.”36, 37 On their part, Amazon’s terms and conditions specify that Amazon is “not liable for any damages, liabilities, or losses, such as corruption, deletion or loss of data, applications or profits.” 49 This means that even with data and applications managed by cloud providers, there remains that need to have a backup/contingency plan for when – not if – there is a technical outage at the cloud servers.
