Protecting Availability at Scale

QKS Group Report

Volumetric DDoS floods persist, but encrypted application-layer attacks, API exhaustion, and short-burst vectors now represent the majority of observed activity and operate below traditional detection thresholds. TLS adoption has created a visibility gap legacy defenses cannot close. This paper examines the shift from reactive mitigation to continuity-driven defense and how Corero’s SmartWall ONE™ with CORE intelligence addresses the full spectrum of modern availability threats.

Organizations relying on diversion-based scrubbing models are architecturally exposed to encrypted, low-volume, and short-burst attack vectors that operate below traditional detection thresholds. Inline, TLS-aware mitigation is no longer optional it is foundational to modern continuity strategy.
