NETSCOUT has released its 13th annual Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report ( WISR ), which offers insights into the most critical security challenges facing today ’ s network operators . The report from Arbor Networks covers a variety of topics , from attack trends to SDN / NFV and IPv6 adoption and key organisational issues .
One finding is the rise in multi-vector attacks that simultaneously target bandwidth , applications and stateful infrastructure . The report highlights the frequency and complexity of distributed denial of service ( DDoS ) attacks , which are rising and defenders are turning to automation and managed services for support . The proliferation of Internet of Things ( IoT ) devices across networks brings enormous potential benefits to businesses and consumers , but also vulnerability because attackers are able to weaponise them .
Bryan Hamman , Arbor Networks ’ Territory Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa , said that South Africa was within the top 10 of countries targeted by DDoS attacks . “ While it is true that mapping DDoS source / destination IP addresses to geographical locations can be challenging due to factors such as source address spoofing by attackers , there is still no question that South Africa is on the radar for DDoS attacks and , as such , our business arena cannot afford to be complacent ,” he said .
