Challenges with current DDoS solutions
In the past few years, a rise in DDoS attacks has been observed. As per the recent report by Radware, 43% of organizations experienced burst attacks, but the rest were unaware of whether they were attacked. Attackers are adapting several emerging techniques and complex tactics to compromise the target network.
On February 28, 2018, GitHub, the code hosting website, was hit with the largest-ever DDoS attack, recorded at 1.35 Tbps. As DDoS attack falls under cyber threat category that makes it unfeasible to deploy any security prevention mechanism as system vulnerabilities are under control of organizations but threats cant be controlled. The frontend of web application remains centralized for all users; hence, it leaves a single point of failure situation for organizations.
