How Does AI and ML Assist in DDoS Protection?
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology have revolutionized the world. Whether the applications are in productivity, efficiency, automation, or any other field, the benefits are undeniable. Cybersecurity and DDoS protection are no exception.?
What Challenges Do Security Teams Face??
The constantly evolving cybersecurity landscape presents unique challenges to security teams. staying up to date on the latest adversarial tactics and trends can be exhausting without automated assistance. Without that level of knowledge, teams can deploy broad mitigation techniques that do not directly combat the attack, leading to subpar resolution or inadvertently blocking legitimate traffic.??
How Has AI and ML Improved DDoS Protection??
By integrating AI and ML into DDoS protection solutions, security teams can reap several benefits. One benefit is a reduction in human error. By applying AI and ML to DDoS detection and mitigation, teams can receive deterministic and highly accurate results with little to no human interaction. Another benefit is improved visibility into threats. Curated feeds, such as NETSCOUT's ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF), provide unmatched levels of threat intelligence and trends, fueling AI and ML-powered analysis.??
Next are seamless updates. As the AI and ML algorithms operate, they can automatically and seamlessly sync with intelligence feeds to improve DDoS protection solutions to understand and automatically block the latest threats. Finally, automated mitigation recommendations are a powerful way to expedite the blocking of DDoS attacks. In doing so, attacks can have a reduced impact on network and application availability, reducing downtime and minimizing revenue loss and reputation damage.
