For example, a flash sale might draw an exponential increase traffic to a website for only a given short period of time. Or a favorable mention in social media might make a certain website go viral, resulting in a huge traffic jump. These scenarios can provide to be a challenge in a fairly static infrastructure.

The vast majority of web and application traffic today is encrypted via SSL/TLS to ensure data integrity and privacy not necessarily security. And this creates real issues as security tools become blind to any nefarious activity happening in encrypted traffic – before the attack, during the attack, and even after the attack. Criminals take advantage of this and hide attacks in an enterprise’s encrypted traffic.

In this video, our solutions architect describes what happens when an attack is initiated using a single IP address. Up to 256 users could be affected by such an attack and while a DDoS detection solution may be able to mitigate the attack, the carrier-grade NAT infrastructure may not be aware, and service then goes down for those subscribers.

That record was short-lived. In the first month of 2019, Imperva reported a DDoS attack of 500 million packets per second.
