DDoS attack pattern targeting CSPs emerges – report

A new report has revealed the emergence of an extremely stealthy distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack pattern targeting communications service providers (CSPs). This new vector exploits the large attack surface of ASN-level (autonomous system number) CSPs by spreading tiny attack traffic across hundreds of IP (internet protocol) addresses to evade detection. The quarterly Nexusguard “Q3 2018 Threat Report“, which measures thousands of DDoS attacks around the world, showed CSPs were targeted by 65.5% of DDoS attacks in Q3, given their extensive networks enabling access to tenants’ assets. Read the full “Q3 2018 Threat Report” for more details. Mitigating broadly distributed, small-sized attack traffic is more difficult at the CSP level, in comparison to the traditional volumetric attack method on a small number of targeted IPs.
