DDoS attacks are persisting today. As the attack vectors and types change we are continuing to implement effective controls to mitigate them.
These attacks are using multiple vectors, including targeting vulnerable internet services that are not protected by DDoS prevention and targeting application layers through replicating genuine server queries seeking to exhaust server resources. Where possible geo-blocking is also recommended in these cases - please contact RedShield to inform us where geo-blocking restrictions can be implemented.
