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, […]
The NSFOCUS multi-terabit DDoS protection was designed specifically to help enterprises regain control and build confidence with its vigorous layered protections against sophisticated attacks. With automation as an integral part of the NSFOCUS solution, DDoS attacks are detected and remediated immediately, with no disruption to services.
3.4 Behavioral Analysis of Attack Sources In the 2018 H1 Cybersecurity Insights8, we mentioned that the number of DDoS recidivists (repeat DDoS offenders) was too large to ignore. Of all internet attack types, 25% of attackers were recidivists responsible for 40% of all attack events. As for DDoS attacks, 7% of attackers were recidivists that […]
As cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile Internet evolve, application forms and requirements are going through changes. I believe that the application security trend virtually highlights technologies and design theories: technological innovations continue to focus on API concepts; the design theories of solutions, products, and services continue to move towards DevOps […]
3.3 DDoS Attack Duration 3.3.1 Attack Duration Distribution In 2018, the average duration of a DDoS attack was 42 minutes, down 17% from 2017. This indicates that DDoS attacks were upgraded in industrialization, weaponization, and efficiency and DDoS-as-aService gained momentum for fast growth. We noticed that the longest DDoS attack in 2018 lasted around 12 […]
Incident Response Is Changing The enterprise security market has seen fast incorporation of more and more cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile devices into enterprise security environments, which traditionally abound with servers, workstations, and networking and security devices. In this context, enterprises are faced with decentralized services and products from a variety of service […]
Top 10 countries in attack counts: The above diagram shows the top 10 regions with the most malicious IP addresses from the NSFOCUS IP Reputation databases at April 19, 2019. Top 10 countries in attack percentage: The country Suriname (SR) has been in the first place for three weeks. The Laos is still in […]
3.2 DDoS Attack Type Analysis 3.2.1 Proportions of Different Attack Types In 2018, the most frequently seen attacks were SYN flood, UDP flood, ACK flood, HTTP flood, and HTTPS flood attacks6, which altogether accounted for 96% of all DDoS attacks. In contrast, reflection attacks contributed to no more than 3% of attacks. Compared with 2017, […]
