Here’s what we discussed:
In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, we’re witnessing a sharp surge in Web DDoS Tsunami Attacks, bringing new challenges in effective Layer 7 (L7) DDoS detection and mitigation.
The purpose of this executive roundtable dinner was to explore the alarming trend of hackers orchestrating combined network and application layer attacks to create high-intensity, request-per-second (RPS) Web DDoS attacks. These Web DDoS Tsunami attacks, infamous for their ability to tax network resources significantly, are skillfully crafted to appear as legitimate traffic, thereby eluding detection. They employ sophisticated evasion techniques such as HTTP header randomization, cookie manipulation, and IP spoofing, among others.
In this roundtable discussion, we unraveled these evolving threats and brainstorm effective countermeasures companies are beginning to use.
