Diamond Bar, California- January 10, 2022. CDNetworks, the global leader in CDN , edge computing and cloud security, secures your business and guarantees continuous service operations on a 24/7/365 basis. To that end, it has successfully detected and mitigated over 40 large scale L7 DDoS attacks targeting a few customers on its CDN Pro platform since November, 2021.
According to analysis by the company’s big data team, hackers have been launching these cyberattacks with more than 100 thousand malware-infected mobile devices or IoT devices. Each of these attacks lasted from 1 to 12 hours and the volume has topped 100 billion, which is a level that has not been reported before. As the following chart shows, the request per second (RPS) reached a peak of 7.5 million in 2021.
“This strength and duration of these recent L7 DDoS attacks are not seen before. They show a disturbing trend that such attacks are escalating quickly and more difficult to defend than ever.” said Bin Ni, CTO of CDNetworks. “With over 2800 edge PoPs deployed worldwide and its huge bandwidth reserve, CDNetworks can promptly identify and took protective actions against DDoS attacks of any level.”
The CDNetworks edge security system analyzes all the incoming traffic in real time to identify attacks. The majority of the attacks are blocked at L4 to most efficiently use the network bandwidth and computing power. Its CDN Pro user interface also allows configuration of custom rules to reject malicious requests at L7 and feedback the intelligence to the security system to benefit the entire edge product line. More innovative technologies are being developed to ensure the high availability and reliability of your business running on the CDNetworks edge.
DDoS attacks continue to surge. According to the CDNetworks’ State of Web Security H1 2021, the CDNetworks security platform detected roughly 30 million DDoS attacks at all levels. The peak bandwidth of DDoS attacks reached 774.58 Gbps in June, which was 26.62% higher than the peak of 611.73 Gbps reached in the first half of 2020. The need to secure your business and guarantee service stability and availability has never been more challenging.
