Staying Ahead of the Next Generation of DDoS Attacks - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Join Patton Adams, experienced network defender and Verisign iDefense Director of Cyber Threat Intelligence as he presents Verisign’s unique view into the evolving DDoS attack ecosystem and recommendations for staying ahead of these increasingly effective threats. Throughout 2015, Verisign noted a continued upward trend in the size, frequency and complexity of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against its customer base, including rising average attack sizes and increased targeting of IT Services organizations. In addition, Verisign observed increasing availability of DDoS-as-a-service offerings from hacktivist and cyber criminal groups, and the prevalence of DDoS malware targeting the open-source Linux operating system, among other trends.
