application layer attacks

The demand for access to email anywhere, from any device makes it critical for IT to ensure Microsoft Exchange deployments are secure, fast, and available. Learn why a service-oriented security perimeter improves security for Exchange.

The Ultimate Guide to Getting Started with Application Security Application-layer attacks are growing much more rapidly than infrastructure attacks. Yet many organizations remain hesitant to create an application security program, believing it will require excessive time and resources. The reality is that any organization, of any size, can and should develop an applications security program. Download the Ultimate Guide to Getting Started With Application Security now for details!

DDoS attacks are the primary threat to the availability of your network. In 2014, the number of DDoS attacks continues its trend upward in both size and complexity. Today, attacks topping 100Gbps have become common. So have complex threats such as application-layer attacks against DNS and encrypted Web services. Taxing security teams even more is the rise in multi vector attacks which target applications, existing stateful infrastructure like Firewalls and IPS devices and upstream connectivity, all in a single sustained attack.

Gartner named Akamai a Leader in their 2017 Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls. A web application firewall is an essential element in your defense against application-layer attacks, which pose an ever-greater threat to productivity and security. The Akamai approach to WAF combines: An anomaly detection model A repeatable testing framework to measure effectiveness Threat intelligence to identify the latest threats A cloud platform for global scale Managed security services to help organizations better protect their websites and web applications over time

Organizations around the world are embracing the economic and operational benefits of cloud computing. Whether organizations are extending internal resources or fully deploying on Microsoft Azure, the ability to take advantage of the business benefits of cloud require that organizations continue to meet key security requirements. Azure delivers a trusted cloud infrastructure on which customers can design, build and manage their own cloud applications and infrastructure. While Azure provides security controls for the infrastructure and change to virtualization layers, deploying organizations are responsible for deploying and maintaining security for the guest operating systems, applications, and data in order to protect against malware attacks, zero-day vulnerabilities and data breaches.

DDDoS attacks are bigger, smarter and more dangerous than ever. Incapsula's research shows that almost 33% of Network (Layer 3&4) DDoS attacks exceeded 20 Gbps. At the same time, DDoS botnets used to wage Application (Layer 7) attacks are up by 240% compared to 2013. This report details our findings and insights into the latest DDoS attack trends.

Distributed denial-of-service attacks may be organized by type into a taxonomy that includes network attacks (layers 3 and 4), session attacks (layers 5 and 6), application attacks (layer 7), and business logic attacks. Each type may be matched with the best F5 technology for mitigating that attack. This paper explains how taken together, the F5 BIG-IP portfolio of products provides effective anti-attack technology for each layer of the taxonomy and can also defend against specific attack tools, network reconnaissance, and low-bandwidth asymmetric attacks.
