Eyal Arazi stories

{ "introduction": "

Eyal Arazi, a product marketing manager at Radware, delves into various aspects of cybersecurity with a focus on Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. He emphasises the importance of matching DDoS protection strategies to specific use cases, whether it's on-demand, always-on, or hybrid models, to best serve organisational needs.

Arazi highlights the evolving nature of DDoS attacks, noting their shift from the network layer to the application layer, and warns about the top six application-layer DDoS attacks to be vigilant about. Drawing analogies to a car's airbag system, he underscores the criticality of having robust DDoS protection despite the infrequency of attacks, as the potential damage is significant.

With the cybersecurity talent pool dwindling, Arazi provides insights into how organisations can adjust their cybersecurity programmes to overcome staff shortages. He also sheds light on why major cyber-attacks often go undetected, revealing that they typically unfold over prolonged periods and require comprehensive data correlation for detection.

In addition, Arazi advocates for the automation of cloud applications, arguing that organisations would be more secure by doing so, especially as hackers increasingly use automation in their attacks.
