Before delving into Gladius, let me briefly explain what DDos and CDN means, this will help many to understand the work as they read.
"Content delivery networks (CDN) are the transparent backbone of the Internet in charge of content delivery. Whether we know it or not, every one of us interacts with CDNs on a daily basis; when reading articles on news sites, shopping online, watching YouTube videos or perusing social media feeds".source
DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks are extremely increasing threat for CDN (content delivery network) administrators.
A DDoS CDN attack utilizes malware to take control of thousands of PCs, frequently referred to as botnets, and direct them to surge a specific CDN with many requests that it cannot sufficiently respond to legitimate traffic.
For a CDN provider, a DDoS CDN attack can severely extremely corrupt or interfere with content delivery, slowing productivity, damaging replication and impacting the bottom line. DDoS attacks are particularly damaging to a streaming video or VoD CDN, where users expect broadcast quality video on demand.
DDoS CDN attacks are becoming not just in recurrence and modernity too. DDoS programmers persistently find better approaches to enter safety efforts and discover their way around conventional firewalls in the CDN design.
Recent attacks, for instance, have focused on the application layer rather than the system and transport layers. For CDN administrators who want superior protection against DDoS CDN threats, Gladius offers Kona DDoS Defender.
DDoS attacks are becoming an increasing reality of operating a business with an online presence. These attacks can cost an incredible amount of money, not just in lost uptime, but also a loss in consumer trust and crisis PR.
