💥 DDoS Attacks Surge in NZ – Yesterday, we hosted a webinar with Imperva covering 'How to Survive a DDoS Attack'. 🎥 Missed it? Watch the video recap: https://vist.ly/3mpqzua The tail end of 2024 has seen a dramatic rise in DDoS attacks targeting New Zealand organizations, with the Financial Services Industry taking the hardest hit. In the first half of the year alone, over 45% of Network Layer DDoS attacks in APAC were aimed at financial institutions—a sharp increase from previous years. 📊 What We Covered in Our Latest Session: ✅ Insights into the alarming spike in DDoS attacks across all sectors. ✅ Techniques used in these attacks and their sources and targets. ✅ How Imperva’s award-winning WAF and DDoS solutions have effectively protected Kiwi companies from these threats. 🔥 Special Guest: We were thrilled to have Darren Beattie, CISO of Tower Insurance, join us for a fire-side chat. Darren shared his invaluable insights and learnings about this surge in attacks, offering real-world perspectives on staying protected. #CyberSecurity #DDoSProtection #KiwiTech #Imperva #FSISecurity #Chillisoft #WAF
