Dear Karmel
There is significant literature on Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) applications and risk management. The first paper that I found focusses on the vulnerability of web applications to DDoS attacks, and presents an active distributed defense system that has a deployment mixture of sub‐systems to protect web applications from DDoS attacks.
Xiang, Y. and Zhou, W. (2006) "Protecting web applications from DDoS attacks by an active distributed defense system", International Journal of Web Information Systems, Vol. 2 Iss: 1, pp.37 - 44
In terms of literature review, the following two publications are relevant. The first might come in handy as proposes some measures for dealing with such attacks.
Abouzakhar, N.S. and Manson, G.A (2002) "An intelligent approach to prevent distributed systems attacks", Information Management & Computer Security, Vol. 10 Iss: 5, pp.203 - 209
Ratnasingam, P. (2002) "The importance of technology trust in Web services security", Information Management & Computer Security, Vol. 10 Iss: 5, pp.255 - 260
You can also read up on the following survey related study and focussed on the vulnerabilities of the cloud platform affecting businesses trading on the internet.
Aleem, A. and Sprott, C.R. (2013) "Let me in the cloud: analysis of the benefit and risk assessment of cloud platform", Journal of Financial Crime, Vol. 20 Iss: 1, pp.6 - 24
Kind regards,
Nicholas
