Protecting College HTTP & HTTPS Applications from DDoS Attacks

DDoS attacks against encrypted web and application-based services continue to skirt university and colleges’ traditional volumetric-focused DDoS defenses.

To distinguish real users from malicious bots, institutions of higher learning are implementing a layered defense strategy that provides full attack spectrum protection with minimal exposure of private data for HTTP and HTTPS services.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn best practices to ensure your users have unfettered access to the applications that are most important to them.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • HTTP and HTTPS attack techniques
  • How layered DDoS and application security pipelines can achieve DDoS resilience
  • Mitigation strategies that prevent collateral damage against real users
  • Techniques that minimize the expense of decrypting attack traffic

How to Defend University DNS Services from DDoS Attacks of all Types

Colleges and universities continue to see a rise in cyberattacks and DNS services are one of the top targets. The disruption of DNS services can result in tremendous loss of revenue and business.

Watch this DDoS Defense Insight on-demand webinar to learn how to defend against one of the most common and disruptive types of cyberattacks: DNS DDoS attacks.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How DNS works and what makes it vulnerable
  • Which strategies DNS attackers use including the infamous water torture attack
  • What are the strategies for blocking brute force, DNS floods and pseudo random domain attacks
  • How to minimize damage to your legitimate users during an attack

Threat Intelligence Report: DDoS Attacks Intensify in 2020

DDoS attacks continue to grow in frequency and sophistication and botnet weapons are as popular as ever while modern malware is gaining new ways to infect IoT systems and recruit them as drones. In these challenging times, up-to-date threat intelligence has become a critically important part of universities and colleges’ DDoS protection strategy.

Read this free intelligence report, titled “Q2 2020: The State of DDoS Weapons” where A10 Networks’ security researchers have tracked 10 million unique DDoS weapons and source of threats to help our Higher Education clients be more prepared for the threats that are targeting them today.

Read this free report to learn:

  • Where attacks originate from and the top sources of DDoS attacks
  • What the largest DDoS attacks have in common
  • About the top IoT exploits detected by A10 Networks

Webcast TLS and the Zero Trust Paradigm

The Zero Trust model, based on the simple principle of “trust nobody”, defines rules which enhance the security of networks against attacks, whether they are initiated from the outside or within. However, with rise of encryption of Internet traffic, it is becoming increasingly difficult to implement the Zero Trust model in an effective way. 

This On Demand webinar discusses:

  • The Zero Trust model.
  • The role visibility plays in the implementation of Zero Trust .
  • How TLS decryption is essential for a fool proof Zero Trust strategy.

SSL Insight for Healthcare – Because prevention is better than the cure

In this webinar, you will learn about the threat landscape the healthcare industry is facing. The healthcare industry holds some of the most important sensitive data, and with such large volume of information, it has become a large target of recent cyber attacks.

This presentation goes into detail about the kinds of strategies the industry employs to prevent these attacks, and ultimately shows how A10 can surmount the challenges and deploy a centralized management solution that allows full visibility into any deployment.

What to Consider When Protecting Healthcare Data

Data protection is critical in healthcare. Hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers, medical offices, insurance providers, billing services providers, and other organizations face a dual responsibility: first and foremost, they must safeguard the privacy, identity, security, and finances of their patients. No less important, they must also protect their own organization from costly breaches, regulatory fines, and damage to their business, reputation, and patient relationships.

Seeking to secure the sensitive data they hold and work with, healthcare organizations increasingly use encryption to protect data in transit. While effective as far as it goes, this approach can lead to a false sense of security—as organizations fail to realize that encryption can also be used to hide attacks. Rendered invisible to their own security devices, malware and viruses can then pass easily into the organization’s environment alongside other types of encrypted traffic.

Recognizing this problem, some organizations turn to decryption as a way to effectively inspect all the traffic leaving and entering their environment. In practice, though, decryption is typically implemented in a highly inefficient, ad hoc manner that quickly raises issues with cost, scalability, and performance. The organization faces a hard choice between security and efficiency.

In this ebook, we’ll talk about the security threats facing healthcare organizations, the issues with traditional approaches to encryption and decryption, and a better way to protect data privacy without impairing security.

Zero Trust Whitepaper

Modern cyberattacks are not limited to just network intrusion from the outside. Internal threat actors can often be found at the center of sophisticated attacks.

The Zero Trust model, based on the simple principle of “trust nobody”, defines rules which enhance the security of networks against attacks, whether they are initiated from the outside or within. However, with the rise of encryption of internet traffic, it is becoming increasingly difficult to implement the Zero Trust model in an effective way.

In this white paper, readers will learn about modern cyber threats, what the Zero Trust model is and how it can be used to protect users and data against such attacks, the role of visibility in the implementation of Zero Trust and how TLS decryption is essential for the implementation of a fool proof Zero Trust strategy.
