The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released updated guidance in collaboration with the FBI and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) regarding distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The revised guidance introduces new attack classifications, including volumetric, protocol, and application attacks. These classifications aim to help organizations better understand and respond to the various types of DDoS attacks they might encounter. The guidance also includes visual aids and recommendations on how to defend against DDoS attacks based on their specific type.
The updated guidance underscores the importance of stakeholders reviewing the information to enhance their preparedness and defenses against the evolving threat landscape of DDoS attacks. Additionally, CISA and its partners have emphasized the need for collaboration between cyber experts, government leaders, and industry professionals to address the dynamic nature of cyber threats in the public sector. The insights and recommendations provided in the revised guidance can serve as valuable resources for organizations looking to strengthen their cybersecurity posture and safeguard against DDoS attacks.
