NETSCOUT engages with NTT Communications on threat intelligence and DDOS attack resilience research
NETSCOUT SYSTEMS , a market leader in cybersecurity , service assurance and business analytics , has announced that it is working with NTT Communications Corporation ( NTT Com ) to conduct research and resilience testing to detect and mitigate cyberattacks by leveraging the resources of NETSCOUT ’ s ATLAS Security Engineering and Response Team ( ASERT ).
NTT Com is taking active measures to ensure its network can support increased traffic and security needs while providing a more resilient network for the future .
Volumetric DDoS attacks overwhelm internal network capacity to consume bandwidth so that genuine users cannot gain access to a network , application or service .
“ We ’ ve detected a huge uptick in volumetric DDoS cyberattacks globally , since the release of the Mirai source code , including a 1.7 Tbps reflection / amplification attack in recent years ,” said Hardik Modi , Associate Vice President of Engineering , Threat and Mitigation Products , NETSCOUT .
NETSCOUT ASERT will collaborate with NTT Com ’ s technical team to implement this initiative in September 2021 and continue through December 2021 . The focus will be to discover and mitigate large DDoS attacks , implement defense measures for application attacks , analyze malware attacks in honeypots , leverage Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) to predict cyberattacks and identify new attacks before becoming an issue .
