Join our webinar: Best practices to defend against the Mirai Botnet and the next wave of Mega Attacks

Millions of IoT devices including DVRs, CCTVs, cameras and routers have been enslaved by the Mirai malware and now constitute what is being called the largest Botnet ever.

In November 2016, this Botnet was used to launch an unprecedented attack on a major DNS provider's platform. This massive attack affected many prominent sites and web applications. The first quarter of 2016 marked a high point in the number of attacks – peaking at more than 100 Gbps. This trend was matched in Q3 2016, with another 19 mega attacks.

This new, massive threat requires a re-examination of traditional DDoS defense technologies, detection tools, and response strategies.

REGISTER NOW to join our security expert for a deep dive interactive session. He will demonstrate on how Akamai helps organizations defend against the Mirai Botnet and the next wave of Mega Attacks.
