In this presentation, we will discuss a significant new evolution of the standard DDoS attack model which presents unique challenges for network operators and end-customers alike.
Attack methodologies, the novel incorporation of both general-purpose computers and ubiquitous IoT devices working in concert, the use of in-depth reconnaissance techniques previously associated with online espionage and fraud activities, and discussion of the changing nature of attackers will be covered, along with a discussion of the DDoS detection/classification/mitigation techniques, enhanced operational capabilities, and new service delivery models which will be required to successfully defend against these attacks.
