DDoS: complex attacks, persistent threats

DDoS attacks have posed a threat since the late 1990s. And distributed denial of service attacks have proven to be hard to prevent, and to deter.

Security teams are better at detecting and blocking DDoS attacks than they were. But malicious actors have not stood still.

They are now using complex, multi-vector attacks rather than relying on volume alone; they are using AI to design attacks, and compromised IoT devices to launch them, according to research from NETSCOUT.

In this episode, we look at how DDoS is evolving, and what CISOs can do to reduce their impact.

Our guest is Darren Anstee, CTO for security at NETSCOUT.
