Two Powerful DDoS Attacks Prevented by Gcore
LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Gcore — a European provider of public cloud and edge computing, content delivery, hosting, security, and AI solutions — earlier this month combatted two consecutive DDoS attacks against a customer, which was able to maintain its services seamlessly throughout.
- The approach, which involved using random UDP source ports, suggests that the attackers were aiming to evade conventional filtering mechanisms.
- "By any measure, a DDoS attack of more than 1.5 Tbps is huge and represents a major threat to any company," said Andre Reitenbach, CEO at Gcore.
- The most recent Gcore Radar Report (Q1 & Q2 2023), which provides insights into the current state of the DDoS protection market and cybersecurity trends, found a dramatic increase in DDoS attacks across multiple industries.
- Gcore has provided its customers with resilient, fast and secure cloud and edge computing services, and a global content delivery network since 2014.
