Security News > 2021 > December > From DDoS to bots and everything in between: Preparing for the new and improved attacker toolbox

Much like sappers getting behind enemy lines to attack and destroy critical infrastructure, threat actors know how to avoid tripwires and stay below the threshold of detection while initiating an attack.

To counter those efforts, organizations need to gain a better understanding of the new attacker toolbox and employ solutions that take a more holistic view of defense.

A common thread is evident in modern attacks: attackers increasingly rely on a blended approach of tools and techniques that aren't immediately - or easily - recognized by traditional and/or point perimeter defenses.

This is becoming more common in DDoS attacks and ransomware attacks.

Attackers occupy the attention of an organization's security team with a DDoS attack, and then they interleave the "Real" attack against other assets.

How will you prepare for the new and improved attacker toolbox?
