14:30 DDoS Is Coming -- Are You Prepared For DDoS-For-Bitcoin Ransom Demands?

For growing online retailers, DDoS attacks and other security threats are not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Cyber extortion schemes like DDoS-for-Bitcoin ransoms are becoming increasingly popular, and leave businesses with the difficult decision of whether to give in to attackers’ demands or risk becoming inaccessible during peak shopping days. In this session, security expert James Rulison will discuss:

• A real case in which a Fortune 500 client faced a massive Bitcoin extortion attack during their peak online shopping season

• How we helped mitigate the attack with our enterprise-grade CDN and security solution

• What kind of security measures retailers can take in the face of these attacks
