Five Best Practices for Mitigating DDoS Attacks

Research Desk

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks remain one of the most effective methods used by cybercriminals to cause significant financial, operational, and reputational damage to businesses worldwide. Though these attacks take different forms, the goal is always to incapacitate targeted servers, services, or networks by flooding them with traffic from compromised devices or networks.

As organizations have hardened their defences, cybercriminals have responded with newer attack types targeting multiple applications and services. Download this guide to learn how to defend against rapidly evolving Distributed Denial-of-Service threats and address vulnerabilities at every layer.

Leveraging DNS to Build Reliable Digital Experiences

Research Desk

DNS is a mission-critical component for any online business. Yet this component is often overlooked and forgotten, until something breaks. Millions of dollars spent on building and securing web properties are of no value if your DNS goes down and your customers cannot find you.

DNS infrastructure is highly vulnerable to a wide spectrum of increasingly common cyberattacks that can degrade performance or bring DNS servers down completely. These attacks, along with rising user expectations around website performance and availability, make it risky for DNS to be a single point of failure.

Impacts of Cyberattacks on IoT Devices

Research Desk

Attack surfaces, threat vectors and vulnerabilities are three widely researched topics when it comes to the internet of things (IoT). However, there isn’t nearly enough research on the impact successful cyberattacks have on IoT devices.

Unit 42, the global threat intelligence team at Palo Alto Networks, took a closer look at this impact, including overall device performance, usability and offered services.

Read the white paper “The Impacts of Cyberattacks on IoT Devices” to learn about:

• Three types of modern IoT attacks
• The entire attack lifecycle
• How two primary cyberattack scenarios impact IoT devices

What Is the Next Step for Next-Gen Antivirus?

Research Desk

Cyberattacks are increasing in both scale and sophistication, and neither traditional antivirus nor next-gen antivirus is enough to protect modern enterprises.

Stealthy adversaries can now launch zero-day exploits and fileless attacks, and they have the resources to develop and quickly modify malware. Even security teams using endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms can miss attacks due to the siloed and inherently low-fidelity nature of those tools.

Enterprises need new strategies and more intelligent investments to holistically protect their valuable data from adversaries today and in the future.

Read this new white paper to learn:

  • The key tactics of modern attackers and how to stop them
  • The top three requirements for effective endpoint protection
  • How to build an endpoint security strategy that can scale to your future needs
