1 . Prioritise security investments to protect all domains . This includes the network itself , customer databases , customer facing services such as websites and internal IT systems . Many DDoS attacks and security breaches in CSPs are targeting customer proprietary data .
2 . Replace legacy DDoS defence systems and deploy new technologies that enable more granular detection using AI , Machine Learning , threat intelligence and other capabilities that match the increasing sophistication of attacks .
3 . Leverage automation to simplify management , improve control over network resources and guarantee uptime .
Intelligent and Automated DDoS Protection Solutions
DDoS protection is clearly a critical part of CSPs ’ infrastructure but , while they need to stop malicious traffic , they need to do this without disrupting legitimate traffic . This is where intelligent and automated DDoS protection solutions that provide scalable , economical , precise and intelligent capabilities are important in order to help CSPs ensure optimal user and subscriber experiences . CSPs should be using solutions that efficiently identify abnormal traffic , automatically and intelligently mitigate the identified inbound DDoS attack , and provide a centralised point of control for seamless DDoS defence execution .
So , what should telecommunications companies look out for to prevent a DDoS attack ?
• A sudden and / or unexpected increase in traffic . Though there are legitimate reasons to receive more traffic , a sudden increase should be checked .
With 68 % of all 2023 respondents expecting network traffic volumes to increase by over 50 % in the next two to three years , firewalls and other security appliances must be routinely upgraded just to handle the increased traffic volume .
