Security system for protecting a vehicle electronic system by selectively intervening in the communications path in order to prevent the arrival of malicious messages at ECUs, in particular at the safety critical ECUs. The security system includes a filter which prevents illegal messages sent by any system or device communicating over a vehicle communications bus from reaching their destination. The filter may, at its discretion according to preconfigured rules, send messages as is, block messages, change the content of the messages, request authentication or limit the rate such messages can be delivered, by buffering the messages and sending them only in preconfigured intervals.

A proxy server in a cloud-based proxy service receives a message that indicates that a domain, whose traffic passes through the proxy server, may be under a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The proxy server enables a rule for the domain that specifies that future requests for resources at that domain are subject to at least initially passing a set of one or more challenges. In response to receiving a request for a resource of that domain from a visitor, the proxy server presents the set of challenges that, if not passed, are an indication that that the visitor is part of the DoS attack. If the set of challenges are passed, the request may be processed. If the set of challenges are not passed, the request may be dropped.

Embodiments provide system and methods for a DDoS service using a mix of mitigation systems (also called scrubbing centers) and non-mitigation systems. The non-mitigation systems are less expensive and thus can be placed at or near a customer's network resource (e.g., a computer, cluster of computers, or entire network). Under normal conditions, traffic for a customer's resource can go through a mitigation system or a non-mitigation system. When an attack is detected, traffic that would have otherwise gone through a non-mitigation system is re-routed to a mitigation system. Thus, the non-mitigation systems can be used to reduce latency and provide more efficient access to the customer's network resource during normal conditions. Since the non-mitigation servers are not equipped to respond to an attack, the non-mitigation systems are not used during an attack, thereby still providing protection to the customer network resource using the mitigation systems.

A software defined networking (SDN)-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack prevention method, an apparatus, and a system, where a controller delivers a traffic statistics collection instruction to a first packet forwarding device. The traffic statistics collection instruction instructs the first packet forwarding device to perform traffic statistics collection, and carries a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address. The controller collects statistical data reported by the first packet forwarding device, obtains, according to the statistical data, a statistical value of global traffic flowing to the destination IP address, and delivers a DDoS prevention policy to a second packet forwarding device based on a determining result that the statistical value of the global traffic exceeds the preset threshold. Correspondingly, the second packet forwarding device receives the DDoS prevention policy from the controller, and performs, according to the DDoS prevention policy, prevention process on the traffic flowing to the destination IP address.

A device processes a communication between a source and user equipment. The user equipment is one of a plurality of user equipment connected to a network and the user equipment is associated with an entity. The device determines that the communication is associated with an anomalous traffic pattern. The device implements a provisional blocking of traffic between the source and the plurality of user equipment connected to the network and generates a filtering rule based on determining the anomalous traffic pattern, where the filtering rule prescribes that traffic between the source and the second user equipment is to be blocked. The device transmits a notification to the entity associated with the user equipment that requests that the entity affirm the filtering rule, and the device blocks traffic between the source and the user equipment based on the entity affirming the filtering rule.

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: defining a training routine for a specific attack of a computing platform; and generating a simulation of the specific attack by executing the training routine within a controlled test environment.

Systems and methods are described that mitigates and/or prevents distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks. In one implementation, a gateway include one or more processors configured to obtain network data from one or more entities associated with the gateway, provide the network data to a server, and obtain a set of entity identifiers from the server. The set of entity identifiers may be generated based on at least the network data. The one or more processors may be further configured to filter communications based on the set of entity identifiers.

In one embodiment, a networking device in a network detects an traffic flow conveyed in the network via the networking device. The networking device generates flow data for the traffic flow. The networking device performs a classification of the traffic flow using the flow data as input to a machine learning-based classifier. The networking device performs a mediation action based on the classification of the traffic flow.
