The way in which we interact with applications has changed dramatically over the years. Enterprises use applications in day-to-day operations to manage their most sensitive data and control access to system resources. Instead of traversing a labyrinth of networks and systems, attackers today see an opening to turn an organization's application against it to bypass network security controls and compromise sensitive data.

DDoS attacks have become an annoyance most companies assume they may have to deal with at some point. While frustrating, minor website disruptions from small-scale hacktivist campaigns rarely create substantial business impacts.

This evolutionary milestone stems from what's called Ransom DDoS (RDDoS), likely one of the most outrageous cybercrime weapons targeting businesses globally since 2015.

Our always-on DDoS protection runs inside every server across our global network. It constantly analyzes incoming traffic, looking for signals associated with previously identified DDoS attacks. We dynamically create fingerprints to flag malicious traffic, which is dropped when detected in high enough volume — so it never reaches its destination — keeping customer websites online. In many cases, flagging bad traffic can be straightforward.

Privilege Access Management (PAM) controls access to privileged accounts, a key step in securing sensitive data and systems. Discover what PAM is, why you need it, and how to implement it effectively.
