Currently, it only takes minimal effort to overload servers and online services, which are already in high demand, with DDoS attacks," says Marc Wilczek, Managing Director of Link11. "In view of the escalating threat situation, Link11 offers public health facilities, authorities and educational institutions security through its DDoS protection. The protection solution, which is part of the Link11 Cloud Security Platform, detects and blocks DDoS attacks. The offer is free of charge and can be used until September 2020."

Only on the night of March 15-16, 2020, the servers myanmar gambling data of the US Department of Health were attacked for hours with DDoS attacks in order to "slow down the implementation of government measures on the corona virus... The attack aimed to overload the department's servers with millions of requests within hours. The authorities believe that a hostile foreign actor is behind this attack."

The on-premise protection solutions and load balancing tools that are still widely used are not able to protect individual websites, APIs or applications in the cloud against Layer 7 attacks. The malicious DDoS data floods can cause great damage and bring everything to a standstill.

Cloud-based DDoS protection, such as the Link11 Cloud Security Platform, uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation and real-time detection to strengthen the cyber resilience of entire IT infrastructures and applications. It can be used in both hybrid and pure cloud environments.
