Cyber attacks via DDOS On one of the servers we are securing

We thought this is interesting to share with you, this is a chart from a 12 min span from a our security sensor showing over 1.2 million TCP port 80 request to a web server running IIS on a windows 2012 R2.

Our systems have been able to identify that and a quick e-mail/sms was sent to our staff who then within minutes contacted the owner of the server.

the diagram also shows the source nation, this is a DDOS attack as the attack was conducted using 100,000  of unique IP address.
