Nexusguard’s Smart Mode detection uses Machine Learning techniques to predict whether network traffic coming from a source is legitimate or part of a malicious DDoS attack.

By employing a hybrid solution, attack detection and mitigation kicks in immediately and automatically via the on-premise appliances that stop application attacks from crippling online services.

Rather than the use of traditional tactics exploited by the criminal underworld to carry out DDoS attacks, more complex tactics have been employed to hamper the detection and mitigation of attacks on infrastructures.

Nexusguard’s Cloud Diversion App provides the complete set of tools you need to facilitate the automation of your incident handling workflows, expedite time-to-mitigation and optimize your overall security strategies.

Designed to protect large networks from L3/L4 attacks of all complexities, Nexusguard InfraProtect offers telcos and ISPs the ability to leverage Nexusguard's globally distributed infrastructure to be used as an off-site sandbox to perform traffic analysis, shaping and attack mitigation.

In this new post-covid19 world, we have realized that the availability of connectivity and services have never been more paramount. To a certain extent, we might even be willing to sacrifice a little speed. The threat of DDoS attacks, designed to destroy that availability, has never been greater.

The reason behind Vietnam’s rise to become a major country of attack origin is the rapid deployment of IoT that began in 2017.

On top of a comprehensive suite of cloud-based DDoS mitigation solutions, Nexusguard has rolled out the MX7000 Mitigation Platform.

Stealthy bit-and-piece attack renders the CSP’s on-premise investment ineffective in preventing service degradation.

If the platform receives a return ACK, indicating that the client is legitimate and is not spoofed, it establishes a connection with the requested server and forwards the original connection request.

TCP SYN flood as a type of network-layer attack isn’t new, but our Q3 2019 research findings suggest that the techniques behind the latest round of TCP SYN flood attacks have become ever-more sophisticated.

During the traditional shopping season, shopping stores are a high-risk target and even CSPs are not dismissed as completely secure. To reduce the risk on them, they cannot rule out the use of a security service.

DDoS mitigation as a service represents an attractive market for CSPs. But building out this service offering is costly and time-consuming.

Without the right combination of people, processes and technology built upon the right infrastructure, the same old DDoS problem can cause a new pain to South Africa’s networks.

Believe it or not, chances are that your smartphone has been compromised and incorporated into botnets. Our research findings reveal that DDoS attacks originated from smart connected devices are on the rise.
