Hey there, cyber enthusiasts!
Are you ready for some eye-opening insights into the world of cybersecurity? The latest Link11 European Cyber Report has just been released, and it’s a real game-changer. Brace yourselves for some shocking revelations!
Let’s dive into the numbers:
- 137% more DDoS attacks on the Link11 network compared to last year.
- Hold on to your hats: The largest attack measured reached a whopping 1.4 terabits per second (Tbps).
- Short, sweet, and effective: Two-thirds of attacks lasted a mere 10 to 60 seconds.
- Multi-vector attacks are the new norm: Combining attack vectors for maximum impact.
Why should you care, you ask?
The Allianz Risk Barometer 2025 warns that as digital transformation progresses, so do cyber threats. The stakes are higher than ever, with cybercriminals unleashing powerful botnets and sophisticated attack techniques. It’s a race against time for organizations to bolster their defenses.
Picture this:
A recent four-day attack combined Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 techniques, pushing both infrastructure and web applications to their limits. With 120 million requests and over a million WAF logs, it was a battle like no other.
The attackers’ playbook:
- Layer 3/4 assaults: Network infrastructure under siege.
- Layer 7 onslaught: Web apps and APIs bombarded with complex queries.
- Dynamic attack patterns: Waves of attacks to test defenses’ response times.
Adaptability is the name of the game for organizations looking to stay ahead of the curve. Cybercriminals are honing in on web applications and APIs, making them prime targets for exploitation.
Ready for the solution?
Enter AI-powered systems, real-time threat detection, and adaptive protection mechanisms. It’s all about staying one step ahead of the bad guys.
Don’t just take our word for it:
“The increasing frequency of DDoS attacks is a clear sign that cybercriminals are relentless. Companies need to up their game and fortify their defenses,” emphasized Jens-Philipp Jung, CEO of Link11.
