DDoS. No longer a mere productivity disruptor but an indispensable tool in the arsenal of sophisticated cyber criminals. There is no easy ways stopping it these days.  Exponential growth of Botnets and Residential Proxies means more ammunition to throw at targets. No amount of defence can catch up economically with the seemingly boundless resources of threat actors. Botnet traffic is incredibly hard to stop using traditional DDoS countermeasures and oftentimes will also bulldoze through legitimate traffic causing even more problems for network operators. A more novel approach is needed to combat these newer adversaries with highest efficiency, lowest cost per bit economics all the while without causing untoward disruption. In this session, we will walk you through how Nokia Deepfield solution employs innovative countermeasure strategies in mitigating both volumetric and session-layer attacks.

In this session we will introduce you to Nokia-validated designs (NVDs) for data centers, offering technical guidance for various deployment types and use cases.
