Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks continue to rise in frequency and sophistication. DDoS-for-hire, hacktivism and geopolitical forces all play a role in the growing cyber threat landscape. In fact, according to Gartner, DDoS attacks will be used as the most common cyberattack type in the coming years. And increasingly, threat actors are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the efficacy of DDoS attacks. This cyber threat landscape requires new and innovative approaches to DDoS defenses, those that leverage AI to help anticipate multi-vector attacks. To help customers protect their networks and applications, meet uptime demands, deliver on customer expectations, and optimize secure experiences, A10 Networks is establishing its A10 Defend security portfolio.
