//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// t TECH cht TALK lk “Specifically, in 2017, 53% of enterprise, government and education (EGE) organisations detected attacks on encrypted services at the application layer. “Application layer attacks use traffic that is very difficult to distinguish from genuine user traffic, often requiring analysis of the actual application layer transaction to identify the patterns of activity involved in an attack. Our approach to this process must change as TLS 1.3 is adopted.” www.intelligentcio.com Hamman added: “The prevalence of application layer DDoS attacks showcases the need for appropriate solutions being in place. The arrival of TLS1.3 has been welcomed around the digital world, but this DDoS example reminds us that progress in one area often has a knock-on effect in others. “TLS1.3 is going to bring a welcome change to IT security professionals, and with it the consequent need for organisations to have all of their IT, networks and security professionals working together. “Different solutions exist to tackle the intricacies of TLS1.3 and will need to be implemented according to an organisation’s needs, its customers’ needs and the local regulatory requirements. NETSCOUT Arbor is well-equipped to implement the most appropriate solution for any business as this exciting new phase of internet security unfolds.” n INTELLIGENTCIO 69
