Best Practices for Preventing and Responding to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks


Listen Later

In November 2016, Internet users across the Eastern Seaboard of the United States had trouble accessing popular websites, such as Reddit, Netflix, and the New York Times. Known as the Dyn attack, the disruption was the result of multiple distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against a single organization: Dyn, a New Hampshire-based Internet infrastructure company. DDoS attacks can be extremely disruptive, and they are on the rise. The Verisign Distributed Denial of Service Trends Report states that DDoS attack activity increased 85 percent in each of the last two years, with 32 percent of those attacks in the fourth quarter of 2015 targeting IT services, cloud computing, and software-as-a-service companies. In this podcast, CERT researcher Rachel Kartch provides an overview of DDoS attacks and best practices for mitigating and responding to them. Listen on Apple Podcasts.
