New research suggests that predicting DDoS attacks in advance may be possible, giving security teams a head start in planning their defenses. A new study outlines an approach to forecasting DDoS activity using deep learning. The researchers from Universiti Malaya and Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka analyzed 192,525 DDoS … More →
