“A modern and innovative way to tackle volumetric DDoS<\/em>“<\/span><\/h4>

Cybercriminals do not stand still. Their tricks to launch DDoS are evolving and becoming more sophisticated. A legacy solution that relies on netflow, a hard-coded signature database and complex traffic redirection cannot catch the tide.<\/span><\/p>

This paper describes a modern and innovative way to tackle volumetric DDoS attack. The approach uses traffic analytics along with advanced silicon technology to accurately identify malicious user behavior and mitigate DDoS. Henry will also share successful stories where customers are experiencing huge benefits from the effective detection and real-time mitigation of rapidly changing multi-vector attacks.<\/span><\/p>
