Gladius professes to have cracked the code of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which have tormented users for a long time.
In such attacks, hackers assemble numerous computers to send demands at web servers, flooding them and cutting them down. Hackers were able to get their hands on numerous more compromised machines after the rise of the Internet of Things. And thus, they assembled those machines in considerably bigger DDoS attacks.
The Washington, D.C. organization recently finished a private beta. It functions similarly as Uber. People have cars but they don’t use them most of the time. Same way companies have bandwidth but they don’t use it. Only 30 percent usage is seen in most of the datacenters. The Gladius DDoS software platforms total unused bandwidths from companies and people. Then these bandwidths instantly become available to the participating companies to fight against inbound DDoS attacks.
Lining up with its beta launch, Gladius is partnering with cloud provider Digital Ocean to test the solution’s capacity to scale in response to large-scale DDoS attacks. A solitary company could withstand a considerably heavier than ordinary attack, as the majority of companies are not overpowered.
Distributed Denial of Service Attacks in Q2 2018
DDoS attacks every year sums up to 84 percent. As indicated by a Ponemon Institute study, the normal downtime due to a DDoS assault is 54 minutes with a normal expense of $22,000 every second. Thus this type of attack costs on an average $1.2 million per attack, as published in VentureBeat.
Verisign’s blog indicates that there is a 35 percent increase in distributed denial of service attacks in the second quarter of 2018. And what is more worrisome is the fact that 62 percent of the victims were targeted multiple times. The figure of Q2 2017 was alarming 74 percent. The figure for this year indicates that 56% of all DDoS attacks were User Datagram Protocol (UDP) floods.
