Case Study Cover

01 The Challenge

High volume of "blank requests" designed to exhaust server bandwidth and processing capacity.

02 Actions Taken

  • Analyzed network traffic logs to determine attack origin and scale.
  • Identified unusual traffic patterns via WAF & IDS logs.
  • Traced global coordination efforts by multiple hacker groups.

03 Strategic Outcomes

  • Successfully defended critical flight information systems.
  • Implemented automated defenses against future volumetric attacks.
  • Minimized downtime for passenger-facing web services.

Expert Recommendations

  • Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to manage high traffic.
  • Implement Human CAPTCHA to filter automated malicious scripts.
  • Set IP whitelisting/blacklisting rules for critical services.
