Link11, one of the leading IT security providers in Europe fighting cyber-attacks on the basis of a machine learning process forming the subject of a patent application, is preparing for further international expansion and strengthening its management team with the appointment of Rolf Gierhard as Vice President Marketing.

In the course of Infosecurity Europe 2018, Link11 surveyed more than 200 IT professionals, hosting providers as well as IT solution providers and came to the alarming conclusion that the DDoS threat in the UK is still taken far too lightly.

The Link11 DDoS protection is a core service on the Link11 Cloud Security Platform and fulfils the extensive quality criteria of the BSI.

Following the announcement by British Airways that the details of 380,000 payment card details and other personal data had been stolen from its website, Link11 stated that the breach could have been prevented with the use of a correctly-configured web application firewalling (WAF) to protect the website. 

New Link11 DDoS Report for Q2 2018 reveals DDoS attack volumes increased to an average 3.3 Gbps and nearly half are multi-vector, as attackers increasingly strike outside of normal business hours.

With the rise in innovation and Artificial Intelligence (AI), businesses among all sectors heavily increased their investments in AI-based technologies in recent years. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence was referred to as a “general-purpose technology” by Harvard Business Review in 2017, implicating that AI will impact every industry to a certain extent. Cybersecurity industry being on the forefront of adopting and deploying AI, however, is undisputed among industry observers.

Link11 has finished setting up its Cloud Security Platform operation in Singapore. The expanded platform supports the IT security provider on its global expansion course.

Link11, global IT security provider specialized in DDoS protection, announces that it has been recognized by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in its “Market Guide for DDoS Mitigation Services”. This report outlines the segments of the global DDoS market and evaluates its key vendors.

Reflection amplification attacks and the resulting DDoS tsunamis aggravated the already high DDoS threat situation in the first quarter of 2018. The attacks also grew in frequency as well as complexity.
