Threat Assessment
Challenge
Coordinated DDoS attack combined with database breach during Black Friday weekend, threatening $50M in revenue.
Key Challenges:
- Peak-season traffic made anomaly detection substantially harder
- Two concurrent attack vectors competing for the same response capacity
- Live transactions in flight when the database segments were isolated
- Every hour of downtime measured directly against $50M of weekend revenue
Countermeasures Deployed
Solution
Multi-layered defense deployment with failover architecture and real-time threat intelligence integration.
Key Solutions:
- DDoS mitigation with intelligent traffic filtering and CDN failover
- Isolation of compromised database segments with backup activation
- Security patching and authentication hardening under live load
- Real-time threat intelligence feeding the filtering rules
Mission Outcome
