About this talk

For decades, the scourge of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks has plagued the internet.

In this webinar, you’ll learn: 

  • What is spoofed traffic and how does it contribute to DDoS attacks 
  • How NetFlow analytics can police networks from spoofed traffic 
  • Advice for addressing customer networks sending spoofed traffic
