Behind DDoS attacks, there are complex economic interests in the underground industry. Therefore, effective governance needs to start from multiple dimensions, including policy, industry, resource, and technical dimensions. This chapter dwells upon how to mitigate DDoS attacks from the following perspectives.
3.6 Industrial Distribution of Attack Targets From an industry perspective, cloud service/Internet data center (IDC), gaming, and e-commerce are top 3 industries suffering the most DDoS attacks.
3.5 Analysis of IoT Attack Sources 3.5.1 Participation of IoT Devices in DDoS Attacks According to NSFOCUS’s IoT threat intelligence, some DDoS attacks are associated with IoT devices. By further analyzing the proportion of IoT devices in DDoS attack source IP addresses, we find that 3.14% are IoT devices. Although this proportion is relatively small, […]
