The threat within: Are we ready for the future of DDOS attacks? - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

•Why the threat landscape is changing so rapidly in terms of DDOS? •Why do we need to understand the anatomy of cyber-attack? •What is the impact on 5G, IoT and DarkWeb on cybersecurity? •What are the limitations of current cybersecurity architectures? •How to improve cybersecurity architecture to deal with an emerging threat? The proliferation of IoT devices, 5G mobile devices and the Darkweb leads to a new attack vector which sits on your backyard. In 2016, attackers leveraged vulnerabilities in IoT devices to launch massive botnet-based DDoS (Ex. Mirai botnet). Last two-year evidence that the massive DDOS attack has the potential to do more significant disruption in the world. Current security architectures are not effective if the attack originates from their backyard. The talk will discuss the limitations of existing security architectures of Telcos in terms of DDoS detection and mitigation. With today’s changing threats, the reality is that security professionals need to continually evaluate and adjust their game plans to remain productive and resilient against cyber threats. Then the talk looks into modified security architecture to deal with emerging DDoS attacks.
