HTTP/2 Zero-Day Vulnerability Results in Record-Breaking DDoS Attacks

Earlier today, Cloudflare, along with Google and Amazon AWS, disclosed the existence of a novel zero-day vulnerability dubbed the “HTTP/2 Rapid Reset” attack. This attack exploits a weakness in the HTTP/2 protocol to generate enormous, hyper-volumetric Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.

Security-focused chaos engineering experiments for the cloud

Modern cloud applications are made up of thousands of distributed services and resources that support an equally large volume of concurrent requests. This level of scale makes it more challenging for engineers to identify system failures before they lead to costly outages. System failures are often difficult to predict in cloud environments, and security threats add another layer of complexity.

How a Major Network and Cloud Security Provider Uses SafeBreach for Security Control Validation

Between the time it takes to stand up a new security tool in an IT environment, the resources needed to continually train personnel to effectively use each tool, and the raw cost of the solution itself, enterprise security teams invest quite a lot when introducing new security controls. Solutions that have been in place for a long time have likely grown with the team’s needs, and are well trusted within the organization.

Uncovering the Hidden WebP vulnerability: a tale of a CVE with much bigger implications than it originally seemed
