DDoS protection isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Choosing the right solution depends on your industry, threat profile, needs and objectives. We are here to provide you the insight to make the right decision.

Brute-force attacks aren’t just a password problem; they’re an infrastructure problem. High-volume login attempts can overwhelm your systems, lock out legitimate users, and disrupt business operations. Traditional Zero Trust and access control solutions often add to the complexity, introducing latency, reboots, and management overhead.

Enter Zero Trust Admission Control (ZTAC), a smarter, stateless approach that delivers Zero Trust outcomes without the complexity. ZTAC moves beyond stateful inspection to provide real-time access validation that scales effortlessly, applies policy updates instantly, and shields your VPNs, firewalls, routers, and APIs from abuse, all without slowing down performance.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

How brute-force traffic exploits infrastructure and why traditional controls fail under pressure

Why stateless architecture is key to real-time, continuous validation without bottlenecks

The operational benefits: proactive blocking, fewer false positives, and no reboots

How ZTAC simplifies Zero Trust deployment with instant, policy-driven protection

Real-world use cases showing ZTAC in action protecting critical access points

Join us to see how you can achieve actual Zero Trust outcomes, faster, simpler, and stronger.

Who should attend: Security architects, network engineers, and IT leaders seeking a scalable, low-friction approach to Zero Trust access protection.

From Complexity to Clarity: Multi-Tenant Layer 7 Protection Without the Overhead

DDoS attacks are no longer just about flooding networks. Attackers are now aiming higher, at the application layer (Layer 7), where user experience, APIs, and business availability intersect. These low-volume, high-impact threats can quietly disable applications, overwhelm login pages, and disrupt critical APIs without triggering traditional volumetric defenses.

In this first session of The Modern DDoS Defense Series, Michael Honeycutt, Product Marketing Manager, and Raj Vadi, Senior Solutions Architect at Corero, explain how Layer 7 attacks differ from traditional network floods,  and why they’ve become the weapon of choice for modern attackers.

You’ll learn:

- The role of Layer 7 in the OSI model and why it’s now a prime target.
- How encryption and application logic are exploited to bypass detection.
- Real-world examples like HTTP floods, DNS water torture, and API abuse.
- Why traditional defenses that stop at L3/L4 aren’t enough.

Start your journey beyond network flooding, and gain a clear understanding of the application-layer threat landscape and how to defend it effectively.
