Protecting the Cloud from DDoS Attacks

Seems like you can’t go anywhere these days without seeing something about “The Cloud”. Whether it’s for on-line banking, e-Commerce or data storage, there’s little doubt that cloud-based services are an integral part of our lives today. The cloud has also attracted the attention of the malicious attacker, as the multi-tenant nature of cloud/hosted environments makes them prime targets for DDoS attacks. In fact, according to the Arbor Networks 8th annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report, 45% of surveyed data center operators experienced DDoS attacks against their data centers, up 60% from the prior year and, of these, 94% are seeing DDoS attacks regularly. Whether you’re a cloud service provider or an enterprise considering the adoption of cloud services, you need to be aware of the impact DDoS attacks can have on the availability of cloud-based services.
