CDN – Content Delivery Network
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers strategically located across various geographic locations. Its primary purpose is to deliver web content, such as images, videos, stylesheets, and scripts, to users more efficiently and quickly. By caching content on multiple servers, a CDN reduces the distance data must travel to reach end-users, Read More …
Conference Video – Why We are Not Building a Defendable Internet
In IT security, offensive problems are technical – but most defensive problems are political and organisational. Attackers have the luxury to focus only on the technical aspects of their work, while defenders have to navigate complex political and regulatory environments. In a previous talk (“Rearchitecting a defendable internet”) I discussed what technical measures would yield Read More …
DDoS – Distributed Denial of Service
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic. DDoS attacks are executed using multiple compromised computer systems, often referred to as a botnet, which are controlled by the attacker. These botnets Read More …
What is Network Address Translation
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method used in networking to modify the IP address information in the headers of data packets as they traverse a router. NAT allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address, facilitating efficient use of IP address space and adding a layer of security Read More …
