What is a data breach?

Data breaches can take many forms, from an unintentional release of information by an unaware employee, to a cyber criminal using stolen login credentials to access sensitive data to a ransomware attack that encrypts a company's confidential information. The types of data that can be involved also vary; it can be personal health information, such as medical records; personally identifiable information like driver's license numbers, financial information, such as credit card numbers; and trade secrets and intellectual property like product designs.

AWS hit by Largest Reported DDoS Attack of 2.3 Tbps

A significant milestone occurred with the reported largest DDoS attack on Amazon Web Services (AWS) reaching 2.3 terabits per second. This is a substantial increase of 70% from the previous record holder, the Memcached-based GitHub DDoS attack in 2018, which measured 1.35 terabits per second. Over the years, these attention-grabbing performance gains in DDoS attacks have been rising consistently, with major high-profile attacks happening every two years.

What is DDoS-for-hire?

The term of the day is DDoS-for-hire, a service that allows anyone to purchase and carry out a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. This type of service is modeled after the Software as a service (SaaS) business model and is often profitable because it allows the operator of an Internet of Things (IoT) botnet to conduct a cost-effective attack.

What is a Cipher Suite?

Today's term is cipher suite, a combination of algorithms that are used in cryptography to secure communication between servers and clients. A cipher suite includes a series of ciphers that fulfill various purposes, such as key generation, authorization, and integrity checksumming. These ciphers ensure the confidentiality and authenticity of the information being transmitted by encrypting and decrypting it. The client and web server negotiate and agree on the specific cipher suite to be used for their communication.

What is CGNAT (Carrier-grade NAT)?

Today we'll be discussing CGNAT, or Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation. This technology was created to address the finite number of public IP addresses that were available under the IPv4 protocol. In the 1980s, it was anticipated that each computer would have its own unique public IP address, but the total number of addresses available, 4 billion, eventually ran out. As a result, IPv6 was developed to address the limited address space of IPv4, but it is not backwards compatible.

Swift and Secure Applications: Eliminating Cyber Threats

Navigating the digital landscape can present performance and security challenges. Interruptions caused by jitter and downtime can negatively impact the performance of your applications. Additionally, modern cyber threats, including DDoS attacks and encrypted malware, can compromise data and disrupt operations.
