Increasingly,
businesses and government in the region are going beyond getting plain-vanilla
Internet access to “clean-pipes” which are premium Internet lines with built-in
tech that can automatically identify malicious DDoS traffic in the networks and
filter them to “scrubbing centres” to take away the nefarious packets before
sending the good packets back to the user.

DDoS attacks – where
hackers paralyse websites by overwhelming them with web traffic, often using an
army of infected computers from all over the world – have become more frequent
and destructive over the last few years. Experts believe that the DDoS attack
on the BBC website at the end of last year may have been the largest recorded
attack in history, hitting the 600Gbps mark.

nuisance attacks to becoming a decoy that precedes more malicious attacks, such
as stealing confidential information.”

DDoS attacks show no
sign of slowing down because the barrier to entry to launch a DDoS attack is
very low. DDoS attacks are not expensive to launch, costing as little as
US$25 per hour for 1000 compromised computers to attack a single victim.
