1 Internet Security Trends LACNOG 2011 Julio Arruda LATAM Engineering Manager

2 Page 2 - Company Confidential 2010 Infrastructure Security Survey  6 th Annual Survey  Survey conducted in September – October 2010  Diversity – Service providers – Content/ASPs – Enterprises – Broadband – Mobile – DNS – Educational

3 Page 3 - Company Confidential Key Findings of the Survey  Threat severity and complexity continue to increase – Attack size increases dramatically, impacting underlying network infrastructure – Application layer attacks continue with some new applications being targeted more frequently.  The Threat-to-Defense gap is the widest observed to date – DDoS attack capabilities of miscreants are outpacing the defensive measures taken by network service providers  Firewall and IPS equipment represents critical points of failure during DDoS attacks  Mobile network growth is a game changer – availability of limitless botnets with greater bandwidth and few network control points  New technologies affect fragility of Internet Infrastructure

4 Page 4 - Company Confidential DDoS Attack Sizes Over Time  Over 102% increase YOY in attack size shows resurgence of brute force and volumetric attack techniques  Internet providers have focused on application threats so miscreants turned back towards attacking network capacity

5 Page 5 - Company Confidential Application Layer Attacks  Application detection is becoming common place – 77% of respondents have successfully detected application layer attacks – Lynchpin service infrastructure remain top targets – Application attacks are advancing to more sophisticated services

6 Page 6 - Company Confidential Attack Frequency and Targets  Attack frequency is increasing – 69% of respondents see at least 1 DDoS attack per month – 35% of respondents see 10 or more DDoS attacks per month compared to 18% in 2009  Customers or services comprise 90% of targeted victims – Major collateral events are less common, but drive greater impact

7 Page 7 - Company Confidential Failure of Firewall and IPS in the IDC  Nearly half of all respondents have experienced a failure of their firewalls or IPS due to DDoS attack

8 Page 8 - Company Confidential Mobile Provider Security Posture  Roughly 50% report security problems with mobile subscribers  Mobile respondents demonstrate poor visibility into compromised hosts – 56% have no visibility into scale of compromised handsets – Optimistically, 17% say that there are none in the network – And 13% operators say at least 5% of customer base is compromised  Majority use NAT, firewalls and ACLS – 47 to 60%  DDoS mitigation and SMS filtering less common

9 Page 9 - Company Confidential Mobile Security Incidents  More than half of carriers have had outages in last year due to security incidents!  79% of mobile respondents say they have not had a DDoS attack explicitly targeting their infrastructure – Over 50% admit they have limited network visibility – How many DDoS events are they having that they simply don’t know about?  Mobile operators are more concerned about DNS, AAA, Mail attacks than fixed line providers  70% compared to 58% in fixed line

10 Page 10 - Company Confidential DNSSEC Threats  24% of respondents have deployed DNSSEC  Already 25% have experienced or expect problems and 31% expect increase in amplification attacks

11 Page 11 - Company Confidential The IPv6 Security Arms Race  Vendors and network operators are rushing to introduce IPv6 visibility and security as networks scale up

12 Page 12 - Company Confidential  As in 2010 most monitored attacks still small in 2011 :  78.5% less than 1Gb/sec (down from 93% in 2009 and 79% in 2010)  63.5% less than 1Mpps (down from 94% in 2009 and 87% in 2010)  Average size of attacks, Smaller Attacks Still Make up the Majority  Less than 1Gb/sec:  2010 is 197.41Mbps / 307.72Kpps  2011 is 332.1Mbps / 739.2Kpps  Less than 1Mpps:  2010 is 558.96Mbps / 228.139Kpps  2011 is 599.2Mbps / 335.7Kpps

13 Page 13 - Company Confidential  Average monthly attack size since start of 2009.  Average attack is 1.31Gbps / 1.62Mpps, July 2011 Attack Sizes have Grown Steadily since 2009  Average attacks sizes have grown by 40.6% / 165.7% since start of 2010

14 Page 14 - Company Confidential  Proportion of monitored attacks over 10Gb/sec has dropped by 48% so far in 2011. Large packet per second attacks increasing  Proportion of monitored attacks over 10Mpps has increased by 98.4% so far in 2011, compared to 2010.

15 Page 15 - Company Confidential  In 2009, 19.6% of monitored attacks targeted port 80.  In 2010 this had increased to 31%, and so far in 2011 we are at 37.3%. Increased Proportion of Attacks Targeting Port 80  Attacks targeting fewer ports  80 and 53 most prevalent.  75% drop in proportion of attacks over 10Gb/sec, from 2010 – still 47% up from 2009.

16 Page 16 - Company Confidential  Proportion of monitored attacks over 10Gb/sec fell back at the start of the 2011.  Growing again now. Proportion of Attacks Over 10Gbps and 10Mpps  Spikes in number of attacks over 10Mpps in March and July.  March = Belize Attacks
