Security MasterClass: Nokia & ACOnet - Making the network part of your DDoS mitigation response

No two networks are alike, and a one-size-fits-all approach to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack mitigation is not adequate for most DDoS attacks today; they vary widely in type, volume, sophistication, and concurrency — making it crucial for network administrators to develop an approach that is tailored to their specific requirements, in an automated fashion. 

In this presentation Nokia and ACOnet, will show why the IPHM/botnet origins of DDoS attack matter, how we can leverage this knowledge of IoT devices and Internet infrastructure to automatically block attacks more efficiently, and how NRENs can leverage their existing network infrastructure to do so.
