Description
Protecting Research and Education Networks from DDoS: Challenges and Collaboration
DDoS attacks aren't just getting bigger: They're getting smarter. For research and education networks the challenge isn't just keeping up, it’s staying ahead. This sidemeeting brings together security professionals, researchers, and decision makers to discuss current strategies, share insights, and explore collaborative approaches to mitigating DDoS threats.
The session is structured in two parts. In the first, experts from European research and education networks will present their latest efforts in countering DDoS attacks, offering insights into technical solutions, operational strategies, and lessons learned. The second part shifts to an open discussion format designed as a highly interactive and community-driven exchange. Whether as an open-table conversation or a panel-style dialogue, this segment thrives on active participation. Attendees are encouraged to bring their perspectives, questions, and ideas to the table, creating a shared understanding of how the community can strengthen its defenses.
Discussions will continue organically based on participants' engagement and needs, with an open end until 17:00.
