Participants learn what distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are and how to use the Arbor Peakflow SP Threat Management System (TMS) solution (“Peakflow SP TMS”) to mitigate and report on attack details. Participants also learn how to use the Alert Summary functionality of Peakflow SP to initiate a mitigation. The course covers various mitigation options and how they can be used to lessen the impact of attacks. During the lab exercise portion of the course, participants detect, interpret and mitigate various types of attacks.

Target Audience: Network operations and security staff responsible for monitoring network anomalies and implementing mitigations using Peakflow SP TMS.
