With cyber-attacks becoming a growing concern for organizations, availability-based attacks, also known as Denial of Service or Distributed Denial of Service attacks, have long moved from a form of cyber protest to a destructive weapon that is used by cyber criminals, hacktivists and even governments.
In 2013 we saw a growing use of a new type of attack where attackers used legitimate transactions to saturate application servers’ resources. In this presentation, Security Expert Werner Thalmeier demonstrates how such an advanced attack can be created from a laptop running in an anonymous public WiFi network. He also evaluates the attack landscape and its impact on organizations as well as shares the best practices to protect against such cyber-attacks.

9 Steps For Fighting Against a DDos Attack in real-time Haltdos
Show network performance or a single website downtime can cause serious revenue damage to any online business, both in lost sales and consumer trust.
DDoS attacks these days have become the stuff of nightmares for website owners.
I think your business is exposed to suck kind of stack we'd recommend you followed these steps to protect your web resources against the different types of DDoS attacks.
If ransomware hasn’t held your business data hostage yet, it’s only a matter of time. Since 2013, a particularly nasty variation of ransomware called CryptoLocker has infiltrated countless businesses, encrypted files and demanded a pound of flesh for their safe release. With no relief in sight and new variations emerging regularly, ransomware continues to be one of the most widespread and damaging threats to businesses today. Is your continuity platform positioned to eat ransomware for breakfast?
Join Unitrends for a live webinar to understand how a layered protection strategy (and the news rules of recovery) can keep your business running – no matter what. We’ll cover:
• The current state of ransomware today
• What you need to do when you get infected
• How a rock solid continuity strategy will get you up and running quickly without having to pay a ransom

WannaCry Ransomware Attack: What to Do NowIBM Security
View on-demand webinar: http://bit.ly/2qoNQ8v
What you need to know and how to protect against the WannaCry Ransomware Attack, the largest coordinated cyberattack of its kind. WannaCry has already crippled critical infrastructure and multiple hospitals and telecommunications organizations, infecting 100s of thousands of endpoints in over 100 countries. In this on-demand webinar, we discuss the anatomy of this unprecedented attack and IBM Researchers share expert insights into what you can do now to protect your organization from this attack and the next one.
This is a presentation for small businesses as presented by Art Ocain of MePush during an SBDC presentation. This explains how and why ransomware exists as well as how to recover and prepare.
2014 saw an average of 28 DDoS attacks every hour, and 40% of those business who suffered a DDoS attack saw their Internet connectivity completely “saturated” (in other words, the attack didn’t just degrade performance, it took the organization completely offline). As network providers improve their ability to protect against these attacks, criminals are stepping up, too. Today 81% of DDoS attacks are multi-vector, combining volumetric, application-layer and state exhaustion techniques. This session will dive into the seven network layers in the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, describe how DDoS attacks are perpetrated against each layer, and offer advice for how to mitigate against these complex intrusions.
Ransomware has plagued organizations of all types and sizes for years. Yet, we have still only seen these tools, techniques, and procedures applied to traditional on-premise networks, and cloud-hosted assets themselves. And while we have just begun to see the tip of the iceberg as it relates to global-scale sweeping attacks that leverage enterprise management technologies, we have not yet experienced the cascading impact of such an attack on the very cloud infrastructure we have come to rely upon. This is surprising, given the simplicity, speed, and sheer efficacy of such an event. In this session, we will highlight the overlaps and disparities between traditional and cloud environments, using MITRE ATT&CK as a guide, to get ahead of the adversaries, and proactively protect our organizations, our customers, and ultimately society as a whole.
Application layer attack trends through the lens of Cloudflare dataCloudflare
The past few months have seen significant changes in how attackers target the application layer—through injection attacks, malicious bots, DDoS, API vulnerability exploits, and more. We can observe these changes by analyzing traffic from Cloudflare’s global network, which blocks an average of 45 billion threats per day for over 27 million Internet properties.
Watch this webinar to explore data on:
Which attack vectors have become more and less common
How those changes vary by region and industry
The business and societal trends behind these attacks
Strategies for addressing these latest attack tactics
The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) issued a statement on Friday, April 26th, 2013 that a possible widespread Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack may take place on Tuesday, May 7th, 2013.
Despite the numerous warnings, CUNA has offered little advice on how to manage the situation and mitigate an attack.
Realizing the severity of the situation, RedZone has put together 5 practical ways to mitigate against a DDoS happening to you that was presented via GoToWebinar on Wednesday, May 1st, 2013.

During this webinar, Paul Mazzucco, TierPoint's Chief Security Officer, describes how these multi-vector DDoS attacks are being perpetrated and what you can do to mitigate against these complex intrusions.
A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack is an attack meant to shut down a machine or network, making it inaccessible to its intended users. DoS attacks accomplish this by flooding the target with traffic, or sending it information that triggers a crash. In both instances, the DoS attack deprives legitimate users (i.e. employees, members, or account holders) of the service or resource they expected.
Victims of DoS attacks often target web servers of high-profile organizations such as banking, commerce, and media companies, or government and trade organizations
While traditional cybersecurity defenses focus on prevention, there are many vulnerabilities and potential attacks against weapon systems. While weapon systems are more software dependent and networked than ever before, cybersecurity has not always been prioritized with regards to weapon systems acquisition.
Threat actors have advanced in their sophistication as they are well-resourced and highly skilled, oftentimes gathering detailed knowledge of the systems they want to attack. Ensuring stronger detection methods is imperative, but because these types of threats are very targeted and advanced, agencies need the capability to proactively hunt.
Study of flooding based ddos attacks and their effect using deter testbedeSAT Journals
Abstract Today, Internet is the primary medium for communication which is used by number of users across the Network. At the same time, its commercial nature is causing increase vulnerability to enhance cyber crimes and there has been an enormous increase in the number of DDOS (distributed denial of service attack) attacks on the internet over the past decade. Whose impact can be proportionally severe. With little or no advance warning, a DDoS attack can easily exhaust the computing and communication resources of its victim within a short period of time. Network resources such as network bandwidth, web servers and network switches are mostly the victims of DDoS attacks. In this paper different types of DDoS attacks has been studied, a dumb-bell topology have been created and effect of UDP flooding attacks has been analyzed on web service by using attack tools available in DETER testbed. Throughput of web server is analyzed with and without DDoS attacks.

The Expanding Role and Importance of Application Delivery Controllers [Resear...Radware
When it Comes to ADCs, Perception is Not Reality.
The Enterprise Strategy Group and Radware recently conducted a collaborative research project about the current use and future strategies of application delivery controllers (ADCs).
Based on a survey of 243 IT professionals, the research reveals that the role of ADCs has expanded well beyond the historical perception of hardware-based load balancers.
What’s most interesting is that ADCs are becoming a critical component of a defense-in-depth security strategy as enterprises fine-tune security policy and enforcement to align with their sensitive business applications. Organizations are also deploying ADCs as virtual appliances at an increasing rate and taking advantage of ADC functionality from the network through the application layer.
There is a lesson to be learned here: enterprise organizations can get creative with ADC deployments for performance tuning, application-specific services, and critical system protection. Read this research http://www.radware.com/social/esg-adc-research/ to understand the benefits of applying ADCs in this fashion.
Eventually, every website fails. If it's a household-name site like Amazon, then news of that failure gets around faster than a rocket full of monkeys. That's because downtime hurts. As a for-instance, in 2013 Amazon suffered a 40-minute outage that allegedly cost the company $5 million in lost sales. That's a big number, and everybody loves big numbers.
But when it comes to performance-related losses, is it the biggest number?
In this presentation from the CMG Performance and Capacity 2014 conference, Radware Web Performance Expert Tammy Everts reviews real-world examples that compare the cost of site slowdowns versus outages. We also talk about how to overcome the challenges of creating as much urgency around the topic of slow time as there is around the topic of downtime.

Mobile Web Stress: Understanding the Neurological Impact of Poor PerformanceRadware
Slow pages hurt mobile user metrics, from bounce rate to online revenues and long-term user retention. At Radware, we wanted to understand the science behind this, so we engaged in the first documented study of the neurological impact of poor performance on mobile users. Your takeaway from this presentation is hard data that you can use to make a case for investing in mobile performance in your organization.
Based on similar research performed on desktop users, our study involved using a groundbreaking combination of eyetracking and electroencephalography (EEG) technologies to monitor brain wave activity in a group of mobile users who were asked to perform a series of online transactions via mobile devices.
In our study, participants were asked to complete standardized shopping tasks on four ecommerce sites while using a smartphone. We studied participants during these tasks, both at the normal speed over Wifi and also at a consistently slowed-down speed (using software that allowed us to create a 500ms network delay). The participants did not know that speed was a factor in the tests; rather, they believed that they were participating in a generic usability/brand perception study. From the data, we were able to extract measures of frustration and emotional engagement for the browsing and checkout stages of both the normal and slowed-down versions of all four sites.
This presentation, shared by Radware Web Performance Evangelist Tammy Everts at the 2014 Velocity Conference and the CMG Performance and Capacity 2014 Conference, provides a deeper understanding of the impact of performance on mobile users.
For even more on the research, you can also download it here: http://www.radware.com/mobile-eeg2013/
This is your brain.
This is your brain on a mobile site with throughput throttled just enough to frustrate the heck out of you.
This is your brain thinking about all the tests you could run if you had your own lightweight, wireless EEG braincap to directly but passively monitor brain activity in your customers as they interact with your digital assets.
From the eMetrics Conference in Chicago, Radware Evangelist Tammy Everts describes a mobile web stress test conducted to gauge the impact of network speed on emotional engagement and brand perception.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

The Art of Cyber War [From Black Hat Brazil 2014]
1. The Art of Cyber War
Werner Thalmeier – Director Security Solutions EMEA & CALA
2. The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. It is commonly known to be the definitive work on military strategy and tactics, and for the last two thousand years has remained the most important military dissertation in Asia. It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond. Leaders as diverse as Mao Zedong and General Douglas MacArthur have drawn inspiration from the work.
Many of its conclusions remain valid today in the cyber warfare era.

12. Individual Servers Malicious software installed on hosts and servers (mostly located at Russian and east European universities), controlled by a single entity by direct communication. Examples: Trin00, TFN, Trinity
Botnets Stealthy malicious software installed mostly on personal computers without the owner’s consent; controlled by a single entity through indirect channels (IRC, HTTP) Examples: Agobot, DirtJumper, Zemra
Voluntary Botnets
Many users, at times part of a Hacktivist group, willingly share their personal computers. Using
predetermined and publicly available attack tools and methods, with an optional remote control channel.
Examples:
LOIC, HOIC
New Server-based
Botnets
Powerful, well orchestrated attacks, using a geographically spread server infrastructure. Few attacking servers generate the same impact as hundreds of clients.

Massive TCP and UDP flood attacks:
•Targeting both Web servers and DNS servers. Radware Emergency Response Team tracked and mitigated attacks of up to 25Gbps against one of its customers. Source appears to be Brobot botnet.
DNS amplification attacks:
•Attacker sends queries to a DNS server with a spoofed address that identifies the target under attack. Large replies from the DNS servers, usually so big that they need to be split over several packets, flood the target.
HTTP flood attacks:
•Cause web server resource starvation due to overwhelming number of page downloads.
Encrypted attacks:
•SSL based HTTPS GET requests generate a major load on the HTTP server by consuming 15x more CPU in order to process the encrypted attack traffic.
