A Imperva report revealed a staggering 111 % increase in DDoS attacks in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023
Defending against DDoS Yet despite the growth in the sophistication of attacks , experts have been learning from threat intelligence to come up with strategies to mitigate attacks .
“ This evolution means that organisations must be prepared for targeted , subtle attacks that are not solely focused on overwhelming bandwidth but rather on disrupting critical operations in more nuanced ways ,” says Michael .
This includes implementing DDoS mitigation services that can detect and respond to attacks in real-time , utilising scrubbing centres to filter out malicious traffic , and employing circuit diversity , load balancers , failover systems , and geographically distributed data centres to minimise the impact of potential attacks .
Organisations can also prioritise robust backup and recovery solutions , regularly backing up data and ensuring these backups are secure and easily accessible for recovering from data destruction or encryption incidents . Implementing advanced threat detection and response tools can help identify and address botnet activities and other malicious behaviours in real-time .
