Akamai detected and mitigated the largest DDoS attack, which has been launched against a publicly unknown Akamai European customer.
Targeting Akamai European clients, the attack lasted for more than 14 hours and traffic peaked at 853.7 Gbps and 659.6 Mpps.
The most major DDoS assault method was UDP flood, which involved sending a target a huge quantity of UDP packets in an effort to overwhelm its processing and response capabilities.
Define the procedure and a dedicated team to respond to the attack, identify the assets that should be safeguarded, determine the business effect, and select the appropriate DDoS solution.
