Attacks aren&rsquo;t more frequent than elsewhere (though they are during peak periods). The harder thing is that the threat environment and the normal operating environment look almost identical from a traffic perspective.</p> <p>Black Friday for ecommerce is a known spike on a known date. You scale up, you brace, you monitor. But a travel platform&rsquo;s &ldquo;Black Friday&rdquo; is an airline announcing a flash sale at 11pm on a Tuesday. Or a popular travel influencer posting a destination recommendation that sends 400,000 people to your site inside 90 minutes. Or school holidays hitting five countries simultaneously across your booking engine.</p>
