DDoS attacks are back in the headlines and disrupting businesses across the globe. Though these threats aren’t new, they are evolving and increasing in size, complexity, and frequency. During this session, we will start by setting the context of the most recent trends, discuss the pro-Russian hactivist group "Killnet" and their cyberattacks on western critical infrastructure, and introduce the new generation of modern VPS-based botnets that are capable of launching hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks exceeding 71 million rps (the largest in history) with a fraction of the bot fleet previously needed.
We will then review the lessons learned from a real-world example from a Fortune Global 500 company that operates critical infrastructure and was targeted by Ransom DDoS attacks.
Join Omer Yoachimik, Senior Product Manager for DDoS Protection at Cloudflare to learn about the threat landscape and how to prepare.
