Service Disruption

Adversaries may degrade or deny legitimate user access by overwhelming application resources, forcibly shutting down services, or exhausting compute capacity. This can be carried out by traffic floods, intentional resource starvation, or orchestrated restarts of critical components. In a cloud context, attackers might scale malicious workloads to consume entire cluster budgets, significantly impacting availability and SLA commitments.
