In recent weeks, a surge in web Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks has been observed globally. These attacks are marked by their sophistication and scale, particularly the layer seven DDoS attacks. This article delves into the nature of these attacks, their impact, and how organizations can protect themselves. The rise of cyber warfare, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has prompted various groups to initiate attacks on countries and organizations worldwide. Two primary attacker groups have emerged pro-rational activist groups and religiously motivated groups. They target countries and organizations that support or oppose Ukraine, as well as those they believe insult Muslims. These attacks are not limited by geography or industry, affecting organizations in countries like Australia, the Baltics, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Spain, the United States, and more.

Notably, these attacks employ new tools and techniques that make them harder to detect and mitigate using traditional methods. They utilize HTTPS floods, referred to as WEB DDoS Tsunami attacks, which are more aggressive, highly voluminous, and use encrypted requests with randomized headers and IP spoofing. Detecting and mitigating these attacks require decryption and deep inspection of the Layer 7 (L7) headers.

Traditional network-based DDoS protection solutions and standard Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are inadequate in handling these attacks. Network-based protections cannot identify L7 DDoS attacks, and standard WAFs struggle with the attacks' scale, randomized nature, and lack of predefined signatures. Self-managed on-premise WAFs place a heavy burden on organizations and cannot cope with the attacks' sophistication. Rate-limiting techniques, which some solutions employ, cannot distinguish between malicious and legitimate traffic during an attack, resulting in blocking legitimate traffic.

As a result, existing solutions in the market are largely ineffective against these types of WEB DDoS tsunami attacks. To stay protected, organizations need comprehensive adaptive Cloud Application and DDoS Protection Services. Radware offers a solution that combines DDoS Protection, WAF, BOT Management, and API Protection, fully managed by Radware's Emergency Response Team (ERT). This comprehensive solution ensures accurate detection and consistent mitigation of multi-vector attacks across all applications and environments. It introduces dedicated behavioral-based algorithms and advanced machine learning capabilities designed to detect and mitigate L7 DDoS attacks while minimizing false positives and preserving legitimate traffic.

In summary, the recent surge in DDoS attacks has given rise to a new type of threat that eludes traditional protections. Radware's WEB DDoS Protection solution stands as a unique and effective defense against these sophisticated attacks, ensuring that organizations can stay secure without blocking legitimate traffic. Stay safe online with Radware's cutting-edge protection.
