Current and Recent DDoS Attacks and Hacktivism: We kick things off with an overview of recent events in the world of DDoS attacks, shining a light on the alarming rise of hacktivism.
Reasons for DDoS Campaigns: Understand the motivations behind these malicious actions, from political motivations to cybercrime.
Impacts to Businesses and Organizations: We delve into the repercussions of service unavailability, including the need to go out of band – the desperate behaviors that result from DDoS attacks.
Pre-Attack Planning: Our guests highlight the importance of having an action plan before the crisis hits.
Types of DDoS Attacks: From volumetric attacks to application layer attacks, we break down the different DDoS strategies cybercriminals use.
DDoS as a Distraction: We discuss how DDoS attacks can be a smokescreen for a much larger, more devastating attack, and how this can go unnoticed due to resource saturation.
The Importance of Defense in Depth: Discover the necessity of a multi-layered security approach to combat DDoS attacks effectively.
The Democratization of DDoS Attacks: As barriers to entry lower, sophisticated DDoS attacks are becoming a commodity. We explore this dangerous trend and its implications.
