The Global State of DDoS Attacks

The COVID-19 pandemic provided the perfect opportunity for cyber criminals to intensify their efforts to disrupt services and target critical infrastructure like supply chains. While the world eases into a more normal operating environment, cyber-attacks, including state-sponsored attacks, have continued to increase. The availability of an ever-growing arsenal of more than 15 million DDoS weapons ensures that attacks keep growing in size and sophistication. The A10 Networks security research team tracks DDoS weapons and their origins so organizations can be enabled to proactively protect their networks against modern attacks. In this webinar, we will learn about: • The evolution of DDoS attacks, and the motives behind them • The creation and propagation DDoS botnets and amplification weapons • The role of artificial intelligence and automation in a proactive DDoS defense strategy
