Micron 21 throws down DDoS challenge
Cloud and data centre services provider Micron 21 has issued a challenge to IT professionals attending the AusCERT conference this week — can they breach its multilevel security with a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack?
The company’s managing director, James Braunegg, wants AusCERT participants to design and launch a DDoS attack in real time during Micron 21’s live demonstrations.
“We are so confident in our abilities in providing DDoS protection for online services that we are inviting all comers at AusCERT to test our DDoS mitigation capabilities, in real time,” said Braunegg.
The ‘attackers’ will be allowed to target a protected or unprotected Micron21 network, with the company confident of defeating such attacks with seamless mitigation.
Participants can also select the duration, scale and other attack configurations before launching their attacks.
The AusCERT conference will take place at Surfers Paradise, Queensland, on May 25–26.
