Have you evaluated your DDoS protection readiness recently? Gartner listed @a10networks as a sample vendor for DDoS protection, get the report here https://t.co/StuDySlMXp

Latest salvo in the rise of nation-state #DDoS attacks. Pro-Russian group Killnet urged for DDoS attacks against U.S. airports. Authorities say no internal airport systems were compromised. See the 2022 @A10Networks DDoS Threat Report for another example. https://t.co/uMaEKssrTo

If your leadership says, "I want to let my dev teams move fast and break things", it's important to expect things will break. If you don't adequately manage your risks, sometimes the broken things will land you in the newspaper and get your CIO or CISO fired.

Post #Mirai we're seeing the prepared & not prepared for #DDoS attacks. Microsoft was prepared, as shown in their report on a 2.4 Tbps attack targeting #Azure in Europe. Sharing information with the community is important, & good citizenship. https://t.co/t1bTLWCKGL

#A10Chat We’ll always have to be vigilant, as tech evolves we almost always see new vulnerabilities. Proper planning & keeping informed from peers is key, no person or org is an island, & good resources exist. Automation aspect through #SecOps or #AI & #ML are bright spots

[Paul Nicholson @paulnicholson20]

#A10Chat A7 Knowledge & automation are key, #DDoS attackers can try an infinite number of attacks, #AI & #ML are key for proper detection & mitigation as the complexity & volume increases.

[Paul Nicholson @paulnicholson20]

#A10Chat A6 Check out @A10Networks State of DDoS Weapons Report, the Q2 report has interesting data on malware (e.g. ARM7) and how it infects systems, good example of why you may see some unusual patterns and what the bad actors are doing. #DDoS attack complexity evolving.

[Paul Nicholson @paulnicholson20]

#A10Chat A5 Organizations had remote working ability pre-pandemic, but the scale & dependency changed. A challenge, & a lot of work, it’s also an opportunity for new approaches that can enable, protect & automate. From end-point to web app - e.g. #AI #ML #DDoS, #PolynimbusADC
