THE SECURITY HOW-TO SERIES BY FASTLY

How to Mitigate DDoS Attacks in Seconds Using AI

The Security How-To Series by Fastly tackles today's escalating threat landscape head-on. As digital experiences grow more connected, attackers are increasingly using AI to launch automated, highly evasive DDoS campaigns with alarming efficiency.

In fact, AI-powered DDoS incidents reached a record high of 2.1 million unique incidents, leaving traditional defense methods struggling to keep up. Join this session to hear The Security experts unpack top concerns facing security teams today, then dive into other evolving threats that demand smarter, faster defenses.

In this session, you will hear Fastly's Security experts speak about:

  • Countering AI Threats with AI Defense: The audience will learn how modern, AI-driven DDoS attacks operate, including how 35% of botnets use machine learning to adapt in real time and evade detection.
  • Financial & Operational Impact: the true costs of downtime ($5,600 per minute on average) and how targeted industries like Commerce and Media are impacted differently by frequency and volume.
  • Adaptive Threat Intelligence: How Fastly's solution leverages 10+ traffic attributes automatically and deploys automated, short-lived edge rules that clear themselves out without causing false positives.

By attending, you will have access to a specialized DDoS demo, to be scheduled after the session with our Security experts.
