A comparison between BYOS and other solutions when faced with DDos/Exploiting attacks.
Attack Description:
Overwhelming an online operation with fake traffic, making the resources unavailable to legitimate users, or injecting data or commands to take advantage of a bug or vulnerability to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior to occur on computer software.
Expected Result:
The computer with BYOS Software is not vulnerable to Denial of Service or Exploiting attacks from an attacker on the same network, whereas the control computers are.
How will BYOS help you?
-
BYOS will ignore DDoS/Exploiting requests at the edge. The endpoint will not know anything came their way.
How will a VPN help you?
- A VPN does not have the ability to prevent/detect/mitigate this attack.
How will an EDR help you?
- EDRs may have some basic firewall and HIDS functionality, but they only have a limited ability to prevent/detect/mitigate this attack. They also depend on what the endpoint's OS has to say.
How will SASE help you?
- SASE may have some basic firewall and HIDS functionality, but they only have a limited ability to prevent/detect/mitigate this attack. They also depend on what the endpoint's OS has to say.
