Get ahead of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks!

Killnet, REvil and Anonymous Sudan — it’s been a busy quarter in the DDoS realm.

Threat actor groups have been targeting organisations in the Sub-Saharan African market in an attempt to disrupt our way of life.

If you’re finding it hard to keep track of all this DDoS attack activity, Cloudflare, in partnership with ITWeb, invites you to this webinar to discover the latest DDoS threats, how to mitigate risk, and best practices to support business continuity.

Join our cybersecurity expert, Nupoor Chavan, to learn about the latest DDoS trends in the region, and how to defend against them. Learn about the new generation of botnets using HTTP/2 and cloud computing infrastructure to launch attacks, why state-level capabilities are becoming increasingly common, and how to automatically detect and mitigate DDoS risk.

In the report below, we will dive into the current and emerging attack trends aimed at applications and APIs in 2023. These observations are powered by the Cloudflare global network, which handles an average of 45+ million HTTP RPS – giving us an unprecedented view into traffic patterns, attacker behaviours and more.
