Innovative DDoS algorithm

Akshay Sekar, a dedicated Security Operations Centre (SOC) Engineer, played a pivotal role in developing an innovative algorithm that automatically responds to volumetric attacks.

Akshay's project was a testament to the power of collaboration. It revolved around developing the algorithm from scratch and using it to fine-tune and enhance the company's security products.His work significantly bolstered the security of the organization and its clients.

Akshay's key achievements were monumental, particularly in improving the key performance metrics of the volumetric attack- enhancing time to detect, reducing cost per incident, and improving response time at the time of attack.To implement the algorithm, Akshay devised a phased implementation strategy by analyzing different request parameters, such as cookies, HTTP headers, and IP addresses at both the application and network layers of the OSI model.

The innovation was necessary because,at the time,there were no algorithms that could automatically detect and respond to attacks accurately.Akshay's algorithm achieved an impressive accuracy of up to 95%,helping clients maintain their business operations even during an attack.This led to a significant reduction in downtime and potential financial losses for our clients.

Akshay's contributions were not just significant; they were instrumental in the company's recognition as a leader in DDoS mitigation,with the highest scores across multiple evaluation criteria.His work resulted in more than increased customer retention, engagement,and contract renewals worth tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.It substantially contributed to the company's revenue, marking a new era of success.Prior to his contributions,the company was struggling to maintain its position in the market,but with his innovative solutions,it was able to not only regain its standing but also surpass its competitors.

Through his innovative and collaborative approach,Akshay played a pivotal role in enhancing the company's security products and services, benefiting the organization and its clients.His dedication and technical expertise have set a new standard for DDoS protection and application security, positioning the company as a market leader.His unique perspective and ability to think outside the box were key factors in the success of the project.
