KUALA LUMPUR: Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, is setting up an anti-DDoS scrubbing centre in Malaysia next month to mitigate risks and offer customers the highest level of protection against stronger distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

DDoS attack is an attack in which multiple compromised computer systems attack a target, such as a server, website or other network resource, and cause a denial of service for users of the targeted resource.
