Neustar Research:
DDoS Attacks Consistent, Relentless and Costly
DDoS Research Report Reveals 73 Percent of Surveyed Organizations
Suffered a DDoS Attack;
The Majority of DDoS Attacks (53 Percent) Resulted in Additional
Compromise, Including Viruses and Ransomware
STERLING, Va., 4 OCTOBER 2016, (BUSINESS WIRE):
Neustar, Inc. (NYSE: NSR), a trusted, neutral
provider of real-time information services, today published its “October 2016 Worldwide DDoS Attacks & Protection
Report: A Steady Threat in the Connected World,” a research report
focused on DDoS attack and protection trends. The report highlights that DDoS
attack volume has remained consistently high and these attacks cause real
damage to organizations. The global response also affirms the prevalent use of
DDoS attacks to distract as “smokescreens” in concert with other malicious
activities that result in additional compromise, such as viruses and
ransomware.
“Distributed denial-of-service attacks are no longer isolated
events limited to large, highly visible, targets. Sophisticated attacks hit
companies of all sizes, in all industries,” said Rob Ayoub, research director,
Security Products, IDC. (Source: “Worldwide DDoS Prevention Products and
Services Forecast, 2016–2020,” August 2016)
Neustar collected responses from more than 1,000 information
security professionals, including CISOs, CSOs and CTOs to determine how DDoS
attacks are impacting their organization and how they are mitigating the
threat. Key findings from “October 2016 Worldwide DDoS Attacks & Protection
Report: A Steady Threat in the Connected World” include:
- DDoS Attacks Are
Unrelenting and Show No Sign of Abating: The overwhelming majority of surveyed organizations (73 percent)
suffered a DDoS attack. Eighty-five percent of attacked organizations were
attacked more than once and 44 percent were attacked more than five times.
- DDoS Attacks Are
Only the Tip of the Spear in Complex Assaults: The majority of organizations that suffered a
DDoS attack (53 percent) also experienced some form of additional
compromise. Forty-six percent of breached organizations discovered a
virus, malware was activated at 37 percent of breached organizations, and
ransomware was encountered at 15 percent of breached organizations.
- DDoS Attacks Are
Time-Consuming and Expensive: It
can take hours to detect and mitigate a DDoS attack at significant cost to
the organization. Seventy-one percent of organizations took an hour or
more to detect a DDoS attack and 72 percent took an additional hour or
more to respond to the attack. Forty-nine percent of surveyed
organizations would lose $100,000 or more per hour of downtime during
these attacks.
- Investment in DDoS
Protection Shows Promise for Future:
The overwhelming majority of respondents (76 percent) are investing more
in DDoS protection than they were a year ago. The majority of respondents
(53 percent) are using traditional firewalls, 47 percent are using a cloud
service provider and 36 percent are using an on-premise DDoS appliance
combined with a DDoS mitigation service (hybrid solution).
“As proof of the increasing threat and destructive nature of DDoS
attacks, the industry has recently seen an incredibly complex, hacked IOT
device-driven DDoS attack that surpassed 620 Gbps, lasted for multiple days,
and crippled a high visibility website,” said Tom Pageler, Chief Security and
Risk Officer of Neustar.
“Organizations should be concerned that DDoS attacks are growing
increasingly sophisticated and relentless, frequently serving as the first
stage of a multi-stage attack against an organization’s infrastructure,” said
Rodney Joffe, Senior Vice President and Senior Technologist for Neustar. “There
is a silver lining: as public attention is driving urgency to improve DDoS
protection capabilities, organizations are increasingly realizing that having a
DDoS mitigation solution in place is a requirement to keep your organization
protected when a DDoS attack occurs.”
