Implementation of IMPERVA Cloud Firewall - Blocking Hacker Attacks Within 3 Seconds
(July 6, 2023, Taipei) Facing the growing threat of global cyberattacks, leading cloud-based HR service provider Mayo has partnered with Asia-Pacific's largest Anti-DDoS technology service provider, Netron, to implement the IMPERVA Cloud Firewall service. This solution helps block malicious traffic, protect sensitive data, and prevent malware attacks. Since its deployment in July last year, the firewall has successfully blocked nearly 300 DDoS attacks within 3 seconds, saving 71% of network traffic and providing secure and efficient cloud-based HR services for customers.
Taiwan Becomes the Second Most Affected Area by Network Layer DDoS Attacks Globally
Since October 2022, Taiwan has experienced multiple personal data breaches involving government and corporate data, with tens of millions of records leaked and sold. According to the "IMPERVA Global DDoS Threat Landscape Report 2023," Taiwan ranks as the second most affected country globally by network layer DDoS attacks, second only to the United States. These attacks have broken records in terms of traffic volume, frequency, and complexity, with industries such as finance, public relations, and entertainment being the hardest hit. Compared to 2021, application layer DDoS attacks increased by 82%, while the proportion of global financial services attacked rose by 121%. As high as 46% of companies that were attacked experienced repeated attacks. Cybersecurity has become one of the most critical issues for governments and enterprises.
