Carpet Bombing DDoS attacks have emerged as a sophisticated and stealthy form of DDoS attack, specifically targeting ASN-level Communication Service Provider (CSP) networks.These attacks disperse malicious traffic fragments across multiple IP addresses, evading traditional security measures. The result? Overwhelming traffic flows that exceed the capacity of conventional mitigation devices, leading to severe disruptions and potential service outages.
DETECTION
Legacy flow-aware devices such as firewalls, load balancers, IPS, IDS, etc. often fail to detect stealthy network layer attacks, which could become bottlenecks themselves.
MITIGATION
When faced with powerful or advanced attacks such as Carpet bombing attacks, blackholing traffic to targeted IP addresses as a mitigation measure is no longer effective nor is it viable.
The multi-layered detection and mitigation engine features network behavior analysis (NBA) to analyze traffic data in order to detect traffic anomalies and alerts the CSP to divert traffic to Nexusguard’s scrubbing cloud. Only clean traffic is forwarded back to the origin server.
