Strategies to Mitigate Application-Layer DDoS Attacks

The rise of application-layer DDoS attacks challenges organizations in defending web applications and APIs. These attacks mimic legitimate traffic, bypassing traditional protections.

Akamai's white paper explores trends in application-layer DDoS, such as shorter, repeated attacks, multi-vector techniques, and evasion tactics. It emphasizes a holistic DDoS protection strategy focusing on scalability, data-driven insights, and visibility.

Key topics include:

• Application layer vulnerabilities targeted by DDoS
• Major trends in application-layer DDoS
• Strategies for enhancing web application and API protection (WAAP)
