Distributed Denial of Service
Service = server application
Denial of = service denial (by crashing, overloading, hacking, etc.)
Distributed = combined attack from many sources and sides
While a DoS attack can be protected by a standard firewall with IDS and IPS, it does not help with massive utilization of application access. If we have a standard throughput of ~100 Mbps for the application, during a distributed attack, this traffic can often increase to hundreds of Gbps. The largest DDoS attack was in petabits. An effective solution is to quickly identify such an attack and divert it using “scrubbing” centers with sufficient connectivity, allowing only correct traffic to reach the original target. DDoS can also manifest not only in strength but also in a combination of application vulnerabilities and the hosting platform. For this reason, it is necessary to see into encrypted communication and combine DDoS protection with WAF (web application firewall).
Emerging network threats require more defensive tools to secure your business. Data center and network security managers face growing threats such as:
- application vulnerabilities,
- authentication vulnerabilities,
- information theft,
- malware spread,
- network and application downtime,
- trojans, and more.
In the fight against increasing security threats, managers are forced to deploy more tools for detection and protection. These include:
- intrusion prevention systems (IPS),
- denial of service (DoS),
- network behavior analysis (NBA),
- reputation services.
