In Q2 2023, there were 44,000 DDoS attacks every single day, a 31% increase on 2022.  DDoS attacks are designed to overwhelm a network with traffic, disrupting service or shutting down access to legitimate traffic, and impacting not just the target organization, but its customers, partners, and other stakeholders, too.  To meet the growing risk of sophisticated DDoS attacks, today’s enterprises need more visibility than they can get from a DDoS mitigation service — which only analyzes the data of its customers.   2024 Top 5 Common DDoS Attacks: Brobot Attack SSL Negotiati ..read more

“By 2026, organizations that prioritize their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be 3x less likely to suffer a breach.” Gartner’s CTEM framework highlights the need for a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program that acts proactively to surface cyber vulnerabilities and risk and to prioritize issues that are most likely to impact business continuity and cyber resilience.   In 2023, researchers noted a 200% increase in DDoS attacks, highlighting a critical area of concern for security leaders in today’s digital ecosystem. Not only do DDo ..read more

There’s no denying that the financial sector is increasingly reliant on technology and connectivity to deliver its services. While this enables innovation, agility, and speed to market, that reliance also comes with a heavy side of risk. Recent data showed a 119% increase in cyber attacks targeting European financial services firms between 2022 and 2023, and so standardizing and strengthening risk management should be at the top of every financial services’ agenda.  To manage this growing risk, and to preempt and limit disruptions to financial stability, from January 2025, all financial s ..read more

Due to the growing need for online services, for practically every organization in any field and industry, enterprises constantly try to minimize risk and protect their services. Among the many strategies and technologies incorporated into protecting online services, SSL is a basic and essential security measure. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that controls encryption and transmission of data between two points. Sometimes referred to as SSL Visibility, SSL Decryption decrypts traffic and routes it to various inspection tools to identify threats –targeting both inbound a ..read more

In recent years, DDoS attacks have become one of the weapons of choice for threat actors who wish to wreak havoc on leading organizations’ online services. DDoS attacks are a simple yet highly effective tool for any attacker who wants to disrupt and deny availability. These attacks often succeed because traditional DDoS protection is not regularly updated with evolving attack vectors.  For example, the the Cloudscraper HTTP/S-GET Flood. When it comes to DDoS security, organizations lack the necessary visibility into their online services. Adding misconfigurations to the equation, such org ..read more
