Arbor Networks to Present "Lessons Learned From the 'Triple Crown' Bank DDoS Attacks" During BankInfoSecurity Webinar
BURLINGTON, MA, Jan 28, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Arbor Networks Inc., a leading provider of network security and
management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks,
will be presenting a webinar with BankInfoSecurity on "Lessons
Learned from the 'Triple Crown' Bank Attacks." Given the combination
of attack vectors leveraged during the recent bout of DDoS attacks
targeting U.S. financial institutions, the attacks left a powerful
impact. This webinar will walk through the lessons learned in
defending against these more complex, multi-vector denial-of-service
attacks and how organizations can better protect themselves going
forward.
WHO:
Gary Sockrider - Arbor Networks Chief Solutions Architect,
Americas
WHAT:
In this webinar, Arbor Networks, whose experts were actively
engaged in the mitigation of these DDoS attacks at both the service
provider and enterprise level, will review the lessons learned and
provide an overview that attendees can use for their own executive
management and board level discussions on risk management.
Beginning in the fall of 2012, more than a dozen major U.S. financial
institutions were targeted by a series of DDoS attacks aimed at
taking down or slowing websites, preventing customers from doing
their online banking. What made this series of attacks stand out was
that attackers did not use a traditional botnet, one that included
thousands of compromised PCs. In this case, attackers used
compromised web servers which require fewer machines but provide
high-speed, high-volume capabilities. The attacks also employed a mix
of application layer attacks and volumetric attack traffic on a
variety of protocols. The other unique factor at play was the launch
of simultaneous attacks to multiple companies in the same industry.
This put an unusual strain on the mitigation capacity of both the
financial enterprises internal defenses and the security provided by
their managed security services providers.
