Understanding the HTTP-2 Zero-Day vulnerability - and what to say to customers
Starting on the 25th August, a series of huge, hyper-volumetric Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks began - resulting in the biggest attack ever recorded. With 1,100 assults generated over 10 million RPS (requests per second), this is on a brand new scale. But what does this mean?
This attack exploits a zero-day vulnerability dubbed the “HTTP/2 Rapid Reset” attack. This attack exploits a weakness in the HTTP/2 protocol, a fundamental way to how the Internet and all websites work, and this zero-day vulnerability (dubbed the “HTTP/2 Rapid Reset” attack) exploits a weakness in the HTTP/2 protocol.
By exploiting this vulnerability, threat actors are able to create a DDoS and take down any server or application running the standard implementation of HTTP/2. And that's a lot of the internet, and public web applications - from online shops to customer portals to standard websites.
This is a brand new type of attack, and speed of response is key. Register for this webinar when we'll be joined by Saikrishna Chavali from Cloudflare with essential insights, and practical advice on how to support your customers now and in the future.
