How do you protect your agency against an HTTP page flood attack generated by botnets that attempt to take your website offline by downloading the same Web page
1,000,000 times per second? How do you protect your own agency staff from being recruited as hosts and used to launch these types of flood attacks?

The second phase of the attacks used much more sophisticated attack tools — mainly botnets… the attacks came from 75 or more jurisdictions using 1 million or more computers. The fascinating thing about this is that the people who owned those computers actually had no idea they were attacking another government. — Lauri Almann, Permanent Undersecretary of Defense, Estonia: Lessons from the cyberattacks on Estonia, GCN, June 16, 2008

Welcome to the new wave of hacker exploits: Non-Vulnerability Attacks!

HTTP flood attacks, phishing, spam, application scans and brute force attacks are examples of non-vulnerability threats. Non-vulnerability attacks do not exploit a software design flaw. Instead, they misuse legitimate application services for malicious activity. Detection through traditional perimeter security cannot combat these attacks.

How do you mitigate risks associated with these new cyber threats?

Tune into this interactive Radware eSeminar on July 15 and learn more about:

• Non-vulnerability threats
• Limitations of current IPS/IDS, anti-virus and firewall solutions
• The impact of the emerging threat landscape on compliance and risk mitigation
• Real-time signature protection for real-time threats

Who Should Attend?

• Government agencies and contractors concerned about:
  • FISMA compliance
  • Continuity of operations under cyber attack
  • Threats to national infrastructure and security
