Be Prepared; DDoS Attackers are Using New Tactics

DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks continue to increase in frequency and sophistication as attackers innovate with new adaptive DDoS attack tactics and techniques. Dive into NETSCOUT’s latest DDoS Threat Intelligence Report that reveals multiple noteworthy findings and trends followed by a simulated DDoS attack against stateful devices. Join NETSCOUT and (ISC)2 on December 1, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific us as we explore the report and recommend best practices in adaptive DDoS defense: - Global and regional DDoS attack stats and trends. - DDoS attacks are increasing being linked to worldwide geopolitical events (e.g., the Russian-Ukraine war.) - Attackers are conducting more pre-attack reconnaissance to determine attack vectors, avoid detection, and maximize impact on targets. - Attackers are moving away from reflection/amplification attacks towards direct path, state exhausting attacks that target stateful devices like firewalls and load balancers.
