DDoS Mitigation and Network Resilience Planning

Distributed denial of service attacks can take African banks, retailers and public services offline within minutes, often as a smokescreen for other activity. This course teaches network and security teams how to prepare for, detect and mitigate these attacks and build resilient connectivity. Delegates develop response plans suited to regional bandwidth and provider realities.
