Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks are a real threat for today’s organizations. Current trends indicate that these attacks are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, persistent and larger in scale, causing potential damage to your revenue, brand and productivity. Is your organization prepared for the next evolution of DDoS attacks? 
 
Join Nishit Sawhney, Director, Product Management, Verisign to learn about the latest DDoS attack trends including attacker behavioral shifts, attack vectors and increased attack sizes. Nishit will also dissect a real-world example of a recent DDoS attack and best practices on how to prepare and defend against increasingly complex and sophisticated DDoS attacks that can overwhelm even the best equipped systems.

Preparing for the Next Evolution of DDoS Attacks

Cyberattacks are a threat to businesses worldwide, and they are getting larger and more sophisticated. The industry’s approach to protecting against these threats must change fundamentally to stay ahead of this growing threat. For too long, the problem has been tackled piecemeal, using isolated devices or services, but protecting against advanced cyberattacks requires communication and coordination among many components – from networking equipment, to specialized appliances, cloud-based services, as well as actionable threat intelligence.

A shift in security architecture is needed, to an open platform where devices and services from different vendors can share, and act, on threat intelligence information, all in concert and in the proper context. It must be a hybrid platform; allowing on-premises security appliances to detect and mitigate attacks, locally, while automating alerts, and switchover, to cloud-based services should an attack threaten to swamp the business’ network connection.

Join Michael Kaczmarek, Sr. Director of Product Management, and learn how to assist with designing a resilient security ecosystem by maximizing an API-centric approach.

In this session, Mike will discuss how to:

- Evaluate the Threat Landscape
- Design for Both Security and Flexibility
- Prepare for Incidents – Orchestrate Responses
- Expand to a Hybrid Premise and Cloud Security Architecture
