Arbor Networks, Inc., in cooperation with the Internet network security
operations community, has completed the third edition of an ongoing
series of annual operational security surveys. The survey is designed
to provide data useful to network operators so that they can make
informed decisions about their use of network security technology to
protect their mission-critical infrastructure.
Bots overtake DDoS as chief security concern - Respondents believed bots and botnets to be a larger threat than DDoS attacks
DDoS attacks going pro - Survey respondents report a widening gap between common mid-level “amateur” attacks and multi-gigabit “professional” efforts.
Attacks outpace ISP network growth - Surveyed ISPs reported sustained attack rates exceeding 24 Gbps – more than double the size of these recently upgraded links.
VoIP is vulnerable - Only 20 percent of ISPs surveyed currently have specific tools or mechanisms to monitor and detect threats against VoIP.
Rise of managed security services - There is a significant increase in the number of service providers offering managed DDoS detection and mitigation services.
