It’s what you don’t know that may hurt you
YOU KNOW you have DDoS protection technology in place. But do you know if it can, in fact, identify and stop an attack? Do you know if there are still any ‘holes’ in your defense that can be exploited by hackers?
YOU KNOW that the DDoS threat is growing in size and sophistication and that your cloud provider protects you against large volumetric attacks. But do you know if you can identify and block layer 7 attacks, which are stealthy and difficult to detect?
YOU KNOW that you are solidly protected by your cloud WAF service. But cloud security is a shared responsibility. Do you know if the default DDoS protection settings are suitable for you? (In most cases they are not.) Do you know whether you have misconfigurations that are diminishing your protection?
YOU KNOW your protection technology and configuration are in good condition. But it takes more than technology to mitigate a DDoS attack. Do you know how quickly your NOC/SOC, security, network, and management teams will identify an attack and take the correct mitigation measures?
Needless to say, our DDoS simulation testing service can help you know more.
