Anzeige
While threats to network and information security have existed since the dawn of the information age, the complexity and scale of attacks have exploded in recent years, presenting enterprises with daunting challenges as they struggle to defend an increasingly vulnerable perimeter. With cyber crime now more lucrative, and far less risky, than the illegal drug trafficking trade, it is hardly surprising that the level of criminal talent devoted to the Internet has risen tremendously. Consequently, threat levels and attack impact have skyrocketed. For example, in just a few years, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks have jumped in size from dozens to hundreds of gigabits per second - a result of increasingly sophisticated malware and growing zombie armies. Unfortunately, traditional perimeter defense solutions have not kept pace with the rapid growth in risk. While enterprises currently have an arsenal of threat-specific tools at their disposal, these rigid, centralized defenses do not provide the flexibility or scale necessary to combat the outsized, adaptive threats facing today's IT infrastructure. Cloud-based security services offer an innovative approach to helping organizations address the limitations of traditional perimeter solutions by adding a globally distributed layer of defense. This instantaneously scalable layer is designed to deliver a level of protection that is orders of magnitude greater than any centralized defense. In addition, cloud security solutions offer unprecedented flexibility across a broad set of protective capabilities. This allows companies to leverage just-in-time defenses that help them adapt to rapidly changing risks and protect against unknowable future threats, while avoiding the costly proposition of having to correctly predict - and pay for - their security needs in advance. This paper assesses the current cyber threat environment and discusses the use of distributed cloud services as an effective means to protect against evolving, modern-day IT threats. It takes a close look at DDoS defense in particular, and provides action-able strategies for leveraging cloud security services to provide a robust layer of defense in an increasingly threatening Internet environment.
