First, determine what risk is associated if you were to become a target of a DDoS. How much is it going to cost you to be offline for X number of days? How much does it cost to implement basic preventions such as beefing up your server and network resources compared to third party hosting providers and cloud solutions designed specific to prevent DDoS attacks.
When it comes to DDoS, detection is easy as you'll see it in your network and website traffic logs, customer and employee complaints, and similar issues. If you determine that you're more likely to be a target, then it's time to start the discussion on how to prevent it now and not wait until it happens.
