The Importance of DDoS Threat Intelligence and Collaborative Data Sharing

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant threat to organizations of all sizes. To effectively combat this ever-evolving menace, there is a critical need for DDoS threat intelligence and collaborative sharing of data. We’ll explore the importance of DDoS threat intelligence, the benefits of collaborative data sharing, and the collective effort required to mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks.

Why penetration testing needs to be part of your IoT security

IoT devices are ubiquitous in our daily lives—whether it’s at home with connected home automation devices, or at work with connected factories, hospitals, and even connected cars.
