In the digital age, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant threat to organizations, potentially leading to service disruptions and financial losses. To effectively combat these threats, businesses are increasingly adopting hybrid DDoS protection solutions. By integrating cloud traffic scrubbing, on-premises local protection, global DDoS-specific threat intelligence, and an orchestration platform, hybrid solutions offer a comprehensive defense strategy.

It is hard to believe that World IPv6 Launch Day was 12 years ago on 6 June 2012, and while worldwide adoption of IPv6 continues to accelerate, uptake has not been as fast as anticipated. The purpose of the World IPv6 Launch Day was to encourage service providers and web companies to test their services and evaluate their capabilities in the face of the global exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.

In the digital era, websites are increasingly vulnerable to a variety of automated threats. These threats, executed by malicious bots, can lead to significant financial losses, data breaches, and compromised user experiences. To safeguard against these risks, it is imperative for websites to implement robust bot protection.

In today’s ever-evolving threat landscape, organizations face numerous security challenges that necessitate a shift from traditional web application firewalls (WAFs) to next-generation solutions. This article aims to highlight the failures of traditional WAFs, contrast them with the capabilities of next-gen WAFs, and emphasize the crucial need for API security in the current digital ecosystem.

The second Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2) will come into effect on 17 October 2024. This is the date by which all EU member states must implement the directive into national law. Not far behind is the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), an EU regulation which came into force on 16 January 2023 but is effective 17 January 2025.

In the digital landscape, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into cybercriminal activities has marked the beginning of a new era of threats. The “machine war” has indeed commenced, with AI enhancing the scale and sophistication of cyberattacks. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, in particular, have become more formidable with AI’s capabilities, presenting significant challenges for cybersecurity defenses.

The Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program(BEAD) provides regional ISPs (RSPs) a once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally offer quality broadband service to the many unserved and underserved communities that are so physically or financially challenging to reach. While the application and approval process to receive funding has been arduous and has consumed more time than hoped, it has been necessary to cleanly identify locations in need.

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.

The landscape of DDoS attacks is constantly evolving. Gone are the days of simple bandwidth floods. Today’s attackers employ sophisticated tactics, making DDoS protection a complex yet crucial undertaking.

The digital world thrives on constant connectivity, making websites and online services the cornerstones of countless businesses. But these crucial platforms are constantly under siege by malicious actors. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, where attackers overwhelm an online service infrastructure with a flood of traffic, pose a significant threat, causing service disruption and downtime which results in financial losses and reputational damage.
