The Last Untested Security Control...and the DDoS Attacks That Prove It
Every control in your security stack gets tested. Endpoints. Identity. Access. Firewalls. But availability, the one thing your business cannot survive without, is still treated as an assumption, not a proof. In this session, we examine why availability remains the most overlooked gap in enterprise security posture, despite being the primary target of the most disruptive attacks hitting financial services today. We'll look at real-world cases where organizations with enterprise-grade DDoS protection still went down. Not because their protection failed, but because nobody ever verified it worked. We'll then make the case for a new operational model: one where protection technology and continuous nondisruptive DDoS validation work together as a unified resilience framework. You'll leave with a clear answer to the question most CISOs can't currently answer: how do you know your availability is protected - not in theory, but under real attack conditions?
