High level Architecture for Distributed anti Denial (DAD) of Service solution
Invention Summary:
With the increasing reliance on digital services, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become one of the most challenging cybersecurity threats. These attacks aim to disrupt access to online resources by overwhelming servers with malicious traffic, often causing service outages and significant financial losses. Traditional DDoS defenses rely on limiting traffic volume, but these can impact legitimate users, leading to suboptimal user experiences and reputational risks.
Rutgers researcher, Dr. Naftaly Minsky has developed a novel technology that introduces a defense mechanism that discriminates between malicious and legitimate traffic in real-time. By analyzing behavioral patterns in data traffic, the system identifies characteristics specific to DDoS attacks such as unusual frequency, traffic source distribution, and payload inconsistencies. The system then applies a series of discriminative filtering algorithms to block malicious data while allowing legitimate users uninterrupted access.
Market Applications:
- Enterprise-Level web services (protects high-traffic websites)
- Cloud services (ensure cloud applications remain available under high traffic loads or during targeted attacks)
- Financial Institutions (safeguards transactional systems against interruptions).
Advantages:
- Enterprise-Level web services (protects high-traffic websites)
- Cloud-Based services (ensures cloud-hosted applications remain available under high traffic loads or during targeted attacks)
- Financial Institutions (safeguards transactional systems against service interruptions).
