Current DDoS and Cyber Threat strategies, best practices and latest trends.

Join us for an exclusive look at the latest DDoS Threat Intelligence Report, including new findings not published anywhere else.
In the first half of 2023, NETSCOUT insights of ~7.9 million DDoS attacks came from an unprecedented level of visibility into all stages of DDoS attacks across the internet, with more than 86% of the insights from wired and wireless telecommunications and cloud hosting providers. 

Explore the Key Findings specific to ISPs:
• A wave of DDoS attacks hammered wireless telecommunications, no doubt a result of expanding 5G wireless connectivity and subscribers using 5G as their primary internet connection.
• Internet traffic growth and 79% growth in 5G deployments = DDoS attack growth, so visibility is key to protecting the network.
• Wired and wireless telecommunications and cloud hosting providers bear the brunt of carpet-bombing attacks as they spread across their networks. 
• Wireline and wireless broadband access ISP/cloud/VPS/hosting/colocation, were especially hard-hit by DNS Water Torture attacks. 
Sneak peek at the exclusive findings you will hear only in this webinar: 
• The DDoS Tax: Yes, it impacts us all!
• How Many DDoS Attacks Really? ~7.9 million reported, but learn about the theoretical ceiling using our global sensor network
• Battling Against the Machines: Defending Networks in the Age of AI

Pro-russische Hacktivisten haben im Juni 2023 die Schweiz massiv mit DDoS Attacken angegriffen. Betroffen waren neben Schweizer Regierungsorganisationen-, Kantonsregierungen-, Städte-, Verkehrsgesellschaften-, Finanzunternehmen auch alle Arten von Industrien.

Das Phänomen der geo-politisch motivierten DDoS Angriffe verdeutlicht, dass diese Art von Cyberkriminalität  jeden treffen kann und numehr zum wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Alltag gehört.

Immer ausgefeiltere Angriffsmethoden wie Multi-Vektor-Angriffe sind mittlerweile alltäglich geworden. Bei einem Multi-Vektor-Angriff infiltrieren die Angreifer ein Netzwerk über mehrere Angriffspunkte oder Vektoren, so dass sie bestehende, meist statische Abwehrmaßnahmen, umgehen und sich ihre Chancen auf ein erfolgreiches Eindringen drastisch erhöhen. In der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres 2022 machten Multi-Vektor-Angriffe mehr als 40 Prozent aller DDoS-Angriffe aus. Mehr als 250.000 DDoS-Angriffe nutzten mehr als 10 Vektoren in einem einzigen Angriff. Dies verdeutlicht, wie wichtig adaptive DDoS-Schutz-Maßnahmen sind.

NETSCOUT möchte Sie zu einem Webinar einladen, in dem wir Ihnen die aktuellen DDoS Trends und Erkenntnisse vorstellen und dabei beleuchten, wie Sie Ihr Unternehmen vor adaptiven DDoS Angriffen schützen können.

Nehmen Sie an unserem Webinar teil und erfahren:

• …welche aktuellen Angriffstrends wir sehen!

• … wie moderne DDoS Angriffe aufgebaut sind und...

• … wie SIE sich am besten davor schützen können!

Werden Sie nicht das nächste Opfer, schützen sie sich wirksam vor DDoS Angriffen

This webinar will be in English. The content is focused on Portugal.

Cyber attackers have adapted their techniques to avoid traditional DDoS protection - what’s on the Horizon for Portugal? Learn about the new trend for Adaptive cyber-attacks, based on factual evidence in the latest Arbor/NETSCOUT Threat Intelligence Report 2H22. Learn about "intelligent multi-layer" mitigation which combines ISP/Cloud DDoS, BGP-Flowspec, and enterprise edge defenses, and why it’s now more important than ever!

Today's attacks, such as Carpet Bombing, are increasingly using Direct-Path, Multi-Vector, and Adaptive techniques. These attacks coming from outside and inside the enterprise must be detected and mitigated quickly to limit their impact on the Enterprise. We will explain the concept of "intelligent multi-layer" mitigation, and how it works.  How to stop external and internal attacks, attacks on “stateful” devices like FW, VPN, and IDS, and various application layer attacks including encrypted traffic.

Adaptive Cyber-Attacks in 2023 – What’s on the Horizon?

Today's DDoS attacks are not only sophisticated and combine multiple attack vectors, but they are also adaptively executed by attackers. Cybercriminals monitor their attack effectiveness and dynamically change or combine attack vectors to bypass existing protections.

9 out of 10 global Tier-1 service providers use NETSCOUT Arbor solutions to meet today's DDoS challenges. One of the results is that NETSCOUT's Security Operations Center (SOC) can analyze and assess current trends in this environment, among other things. These results are summarized semi-annually and presented in the DDoS Threat Intelligence Report.

NETSCOUT would like to invite you to a webinar where we will explain the current findings of this Threat Report, highlighting how adaptive DDoS attacks are executed and how you can protect your organization from them.

Join our webinar and learn more about:

- Which current attack trends we are seeing!

- Which attack vectors are currently seen more frequently and which ones less frequently!

- How modern "Adaptive" DDoS attacks are structured

- How YOU can best protect yourself against them!

Obtenga información sobre la mitigación de "multicapa inteligente" que combina ISP/Cloud DDoS, BGP-Flowspec y defensas perimetrales de la empresa y por qué ahora es más importante que nunca.

Los ataques actuales, que provienen del exterior y del interior de la empresa, deben detectarse y mitigarse rápidamente para limitar su impacto. Explicaremos el concepto de mitigación "inteligente de múltiples capas" y cómo funciona. Descubra cómo se utiliza esta mitigación para detener ataques externos e internos, ataques a dispositivos "con tablas de estado" (stateful) como FW, VPN e IDS, y varios ataques a la capa de aplicación, incluido el tráfico cifrado.

Los Ataques Ciber en 2023 vs. la Mitigación Inteligente de Multi-Capas

This webinar will be presented in German.

Heutige DDoS Angriffe sind nicht nur hochentwickelt und vereinen mehrere Angriffsvektoren, sondern sie werden von den Attackern auch adaptiv durchgeführt. Cyberkriminelle überwachen dabei ihre Angriffseffektivität und verändern oder kombinieren die Angriffsverktoren dynamisch um vorhandene Schutzmaßnahmen zu umgehen.

9 von 10 global agierende Tier-1 Service Provider nutzen NETSCOUT Arbor Lösungen, um den heutigen DDoS Herausforderungen gerecht zu werden. Eines der Resultate ist, dass NETSCOUT´s Security Operations Center (SOC) unter anderem daraus die aktuellen Trends in diesem Umfeld analysieren und bewerten kann. Diese Ergebnisse werden halbjährlich zusammengefasst und in dem DDoS Threat Intelligence Report vorgestellt.

NETSCOUT möchte Sie zu einem Webinar einladen, in dem wir Ihnen die aktuellen Erkenntnisse dieses Threat Reports erläutern und dabei beleuchten wie adaptive DDoS Angriffe ausgeführt werden und wie Sie Ihr Unternehmen davor schützen können.

Nehmen Sie an unserem Webinar teil und schauen Sie sich an …:
• …welche aktuellen Angriffstrends wir sehen!
• …welche Attack-Vektoren derzeit besonders häufig und welche   
                  weniger häufig gesehen wurden!
• ...wie moderne „Adaptive“ DDoS Angriffe aufgebaut sind und...
• …wie SIE sich am besten davor schützen können!
