ISMG Launches DDoS Resource Center

Princeton, NJ, July 10, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Information Security Media Group, publisher of BankInfoSecurity and InfoRiskToday, announces the launch of its new Resource Center covering the DDoS attack phenomenon. The site, sponsored by Akamai, Fortinet, Neustar, Radware and VeriSign, is dedicated to providing in-depth news, analysis and insights from ISMG's staff and top mitigation experts on the latest incidents, emerging trends and prevention strategies.

Organizations of all kinds are working to understand the DDoS threat, which in recent months has impacted dozens of the top U.S. financial institutions, among others. With attacks increasing, and the growing scope of organizations large and small being targeted, it has never been a better time to provide in-depth coverage for information risk management professionals worldwide.

This new Resource Center showcases ISMG's exhaustive coverage of this topic, including:

-The evolution of DDoS attacks, from avenues of nuisance to tools of distraction to perpetrate fraud or steal intellectual property;
-Interviews with top security leaders who offer expert insights about emerging attacks, as well as analysis on mitigation and prevention strategies;
-Education from thought-leaders on key issues, such as risk assessment, response and defense.
