Preparing for DDoS and Botnet Attacks: Webcast and Test Methodology

DDoS and botnet attacks are an imminent threat to every network. Just look at the damage we saw over the summer. In July, cyber attacks targeted a number of government, news media, and financial websites in both South Korea and the United States. Shortly after, we witnessed DDoS attacks, aided by botnets, bringing down social networking services such as Twitter, Facebook and Google. In the face of an imminent threat how do you prepare?

If I can channel my inner Sun Tzu for a second; it is critical to know your enemy in order to protect your network assets. This means testing your network elements and application servers with genuine DDoS and botnet attacks to determine your weak points, before someone else does.

Next Wednesday, three BreakingPoint experts are getting together to discuss how to prepare for DDoS and botnets through replicating these attacks during testing. Dennis Cox, the CTO of BreakingPoint, will be joined by Tod Beardsley and Dustin Trammell for what plans to be a lively conversation. The webcast will also highlight some of the information in the soon to be published "BreakingPoint DDoS and Botnet Test Methodology". The methodology will be sent to all registrants of the webcast and details, step-by-step, how to replicate these scenarios in your testing environment.
