Denial of Service Deterrence
Denial of Service has been a very useful practice for attackers and continues to remain prevalent today. The main issue for organizations is how to implement a denial of service solution conducive to their enterprise environment. The logic behind implementing a DoS solution is simple. These attacks are a monumental portion of an attackers arsenal, require few local resources to execute, and can be the most adverse in terms of infrastructure and functionality of the business. Denial of service will only continue to be more of an issue for enterprises who do not employ a DoS mitigation solution. This paper seeks to analyze the landscape and depict environment configuration variables. Finally, current techniques for mitigation and remediation for denial of service will be described and a framework for an organization's implementation plan delineated.
