Radware Global Network and Application Security Report
3
Slide 3 Radware’s ERT 2013 Cases Unique visibility into attacks behavior Attacks monitored in real-time on a daily basis More than 300 cases analyzed –Customers identity remains undisclosed
4
The Threat Landscape DDoS is the most common attack method! Attacks last longer Government and Financial Services are the most attacked vectors Multi-vector trend continues Slide 4
5
DDoS Attacks Results Public attention 3.5% Results of one-second delay in Web page loading: decrease in conversion rate 2.1% decrease in shopping cart size 9.4% decrease in page views 8.3% increase in bounce rate Source: Strangeloop Networks, Case Study: The impact of HTML delay on mobile business metrics, November 2011 Slide 5
6
App Misuse DDoS Attack Vectors Large volume network flood attacks Network Scan Syn Floods SSL Floods “Low & Slow” DoS attacks (e.g.Sockstress) HTTP Floods Brute Force Slide 6 Internet Pipe Firewall IPS/IDS ADC Attacked Server SQL Server Connection Floods

2013 Attack Tools Trends

Attack Vectors Used Slide 8
9
Reflective Amplification Attacks on the Rise Slide 9 Easier to create Based on UDP protocol –Targeted protocols: DNS, NTP, SNMP –UDP connectionless nature enables to spoof the IP Address Key feature in creating reflective attack Obfuscates attacker real identity (IP address) Amplification affect: 8 – 650 times larger than originated message
10
DNS Based Attacks Most frequently used attack vector Amplification affect –Regular DNS replies - a normal reply is 3-4 times larger than the request –Researched replies – can reach up to 10 times the original request –Crafted replies – attacker compromises a DNS server and ensures requests are answered with the maximum DNS reply message (4096 bytes) - amplification factor of up to 100 times Slide 10
11
Nine day volumetric attack First to break the ceiling of 100 Gbps –Attack reached bandwidth of 300 Gbps Target: Anti-spam organization providing Internet service Attacker: CyberBunker and Sven Olaf Kamphuis Internet Service Provider Notable Amplification Attack: Spamhaus Slide 11
12
Harder to Detect: Web Stealth Attacks Slide 12 More than HTTP floods Dynamic IP addresses –High distributed attack –Attacks using Anonymizers / Proxy –Attacks passing CDNs Attacks that are being obfuscated by SSL Attacks with the ability to pass C/R Attacks that use low-traffic volume but saturate servers’ resources
13
Attacks on Login Page are Destructive Cause a DB search Based on SSL No load-balancing yet Attacks on Login Page are Destructive Cause a DB search Based on SSL No load-balancing yet Web Stealth Attacks Slide 13

Implications of Login Page Attacks Slide 14
15
Login Page Attacks Over 40% of organizations have experienced Login Page Attack in 2013 Slide 15

Fighting Cyber Attacks: Best Practices
26
Building the Strategy Slide 26 DON’T assume that you’re not a target BUILD your protection strategy and tactics LEARN from the mistakes of others DON’T assume that you’re not a target BUILD your protection strategy and tactics LEARN from the mistakes of others
27
Adding Tactics Slide 27 Don’t believe the DDoS protection propaganda – Test instead Understand the limitations of cloud-based scrubbing solutions Not all networking and security appliance solutions were created equal Don’t believe the DDoS protection propaganda – Test instead Understand the limitations of cloud-based scrubbing solutions Not all networking and security appliance solutions were created equal
28
You Can’t Defend Against Attacks You Can’t Detect Encrypted Low & Slow Encrypted DoS Vulnerability CDN/Proxy/Anonymizer attacks Dynamic IP Directed Attacks – Exploits Scraping and Data Theft Ajax and API attacks Slide 28
