Initiative Designed to Detect and Mitigate
Cyberattacks to Prevent Potential Disruptions in Japan's Network
Availability
NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a market leader in
cybersecurity, service assurance, and business analytics, today
announced that it is working with NTT Communications Corporation
(NTT Com) to conduct research and resilience testing to detect and
mitigate cyberattacks by leveraging the resources of NETSCOUT's
ATLAS Security Engineering & Response Team (ASERT). NTT Com is
taking active measures to ensure its network can support increased
traffic and security needs while providing a more resilient network
for the future.
Volumetric DDoS attacks overwhelm internal network capacity to
consume bandwidth so that genuine users cannot gain access to a
network, application, or service.
"We've detected a huge uptick in volumetric DDoS cyberattacks
globally, since the release of the Mirai source code, including a
1.7 Tbps reflection/amplification attack in recent years," stated
Hardik Modi, Associate Vice President of Engineering, Threat and
Mitigation Products, NETSCOUT. "We welcome the opportunity to
continue our work with NTT Com through this research initiative to
help them discover, analyze, and prevent DDoS and other
cyberattacks."
NETSCOUT ASERT will collaborate with NTT Com’s technical team to
implement this initiative in September 2021 and continue through
December 2021. The focus will be to discover and mitigate large
DDoS attacks, implement defense measures for application attacks,
analyze malware attacks in honeypots, leverage artificial
intelligence (AI) to predict cyberattacks, and identify new attacks
before becoming an issue.
