DDoS attacks continue to increase

In today's digital age, cyber attacks are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, of which DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are one of the leading threats to organizations and businesses in Vietnam and globally.

According to statistics for the first half of 2024 from CMC Telecom and NexusGuard, the average size of DDoS attacks increased by 233.33% and new forms of attacks, especially carpet bombing, compared to previous years.

This shows a strategic shift towards attacks with high bandwidth, high impact and attack vectors that are more difficult to filter for traditional DDoS mitigation solutions. According to data recorded on CMC Telecom infrastructure, 10-20G attacks recorded an increase of 40%, >30G recorded an increase of 30% compared to the previous year.

In Vietnam, DDoS attacks on banks, financial enterprises and other large organizations have also increased significantly, with more than 1,500 incidents recorded in the first half of 2024. Faced with this challenge, building a comprehensive digital infrastructure security strategy is an urgent requirement to ensure business continuity and needs to start with a new Hybrid model DDoS mitigation solution.

Realizing the importance of security in the digital environment in general and DDoS in particular, CMC Telecom has cooperated with NexusGuard - one of the world's leading anti-DDoS solution providers with 5 consecutive years of receiving the "Best in DDoS Protection" award and 2 consecutive years of being honored with the "Hall of Fame" in CybersecAsia Awards.

According to CMC Telecom, this cooperation provides the ability to integrate NexusGuard's advanced technologies into the company's digital infrastructure, providing customers with powerful security solutions, optimizing the ability to prevent DDoS attacks according to the Hybrid model. CMC Telecom is currently a Transformational Alliance Partner of NexusGuard, demonstrating the company's outstanding capabilities and pioneering security strategy in this field.

DDoS attacks and threats to digital infrastructure

DDoS is a type of attack in which bad guys use many computers or devices infected with malware to overload the target system, causing service disruption. DDoS attacks can occur at layers 3/4/7.

For financial institutions, banks and large enterprises, DDoS not only disrupts system operations but also causes revenue loss, reduces customer confidence, and can even cause the loss of a business's position in the market.
