To help businesses deal with the growing threat of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, the Kaspersky Lab παρουσιάζει τη νέα λύση Kaspersky DDoS Protection. Η ιδιαίτερη εξειδίκευση της Kaspersky Lab στις ψηφιακές απειλές και η εκτενής εμπειρία της στην επιτυχή καταπολέμηση τους, καθώς επίσης και οι ευφυείς τεχνολογίες της, επιτρέπουν στη λύση να διαχειριστεί κάθε είδους επίθεση DDoS, regardless of size and complexity. Almost a quarter of businesses in Europe (23%) consider DDoS attacks to be one of the top three corporate threats, according to research of B2B International and Kaspersky Lab.
As one of the money-laundering techniques most often used by digital criminals, the number and strength of these attacks continues to grow year by year, putting the issue of protecting users increasingly up the agenda.
With the Companies να κινδυνεύουν να χάσουν μεταξύ $10.000 και $50.000 την ημέρα λόγω των επιθέσεων DDoS και την πιθανότητα να υπάρξει πρόσθετη damage στη φήμη τους, η έρευνα δείχνει ότι το 26% των επιχειρήσεων στην Ευρώπη θεωρεί την «αδιάλειπτη συνέχεια των υπηρεσιών» μία από τις τρεις κορυφαίες προτεραιότητες στον τομέα της Πληροφορικής για το 2015.
The goal of a DDoS attack is to "choke" the information system of a web page or database by using a huge number of requests and making it unavailable to users. The possible causes behind such attacks vary and can start from online hooliganism and reach up to unfair competition or even extortion.
The low cost of attacks (an unconscious can buy customized DDoS attack services, paying the minimum of $ 50 per day), the inability to locate the perpetrators, and the large number of "infected" computers and mobile devices around the world , make DDoS attacks one of today's most widespread and dangerous digital threats.
"DDoS attacks have no limits, with their victims ranging from large international businesses to small online stores. In addition, they can often be part of a targeted attack against an organization, as overloads they cause in networks can be used as a distraction as attackers gain access to critical data. To protect companies from this threat and minimize their losses due to service idle time, we developed Kaspersky DDoS Protection» says Anton Porok, Managing Director for Kaspersky Lab's Eastern Europe.
An important element of Kaspersky DDoS Protection is the distributed infrastructure of the Clearance Centers, which are established throughout Europe. The solution, however, does not only help to prevent attacks. Taking advantage of Kaspersky Lab's expertise and information about DDoS attacks, the new solution ensures that potential threats can be detected even at an early stage. This also makes it possible to customize system settings on a case-by-case basis in real time, providing customers with reliable protection against financial threats and threats against their reputation.
Kaspersky DDoS Protection software for tracking and clearing traffic has been developed within the company. This means that the way the solution works can be quickly modified. Thus, it responds to changes in techniques used by attackers, even during an ongoing attack. In addition, Kaspersky DDoS Protection can filter most of the traffic involved in attacks on the provider side if the Internet Service Provider concerned has entered into a corporate agreement with Kaspersky Lab. This means that only a small number of highly evolved junk traffic needs to be diverted to Kaspersky Lab's Clearing Centers.
Experts who monitor Kaspersky DDoS Protection can customize and modify tracking functions and filters based on how the threat landscape is configured at a given point in time. This additional level of protection is quickly modifiable and applicable, allowing for increased security for companies. Custom security, tailored to customer circumstances and risk, offers the confidence that the protection provided is the best possible.
To ensure the highest possible level of reliability, Kaspersky Lab uses equipment and service providers exclusively from Europe to clear and monitor traffic in European countries. All traffic clearing centers are located in Europe and customer traffic metadata, which is analyzed by the service, παραμένουν πάντοτε στο έδαφος της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.
