How memcached reflection threatens IT security

Link11

2018 is the year of high volume DDoS attacks. Since the emergence of the new attack vector memcached reflection in February, new bandwidth records have been set. Companies worldwide suddenly found themselves exposed to a new DDoS risk. In a webinar, the Link11 IT security experts Karsten Desler and Aatish Pattni explain how to assess the threats. Today's global IT infrastructures face a DDoS threat that has never existed before with such massive bandwidths. This issue relates to attack vectors, which can hit companies with a really destructive attack volume due to enormous amplification factors. The largest possible 'amplification reflection vector' to date has been detected in memcached reflection attacks. Cyber criminals can theoretically use the vector to increase their attacks by a factor of 50,000.

Benchmarking and Business Value Assessment of COBIT

"This report presents the results of an international research project commissioned by ISACA to the University of Antwerp—Antwerp Management School (Belgium), focused on establishing an international benchmark and a business value assessment of COBIT 5. The benchmarking results constitute the first part of the report, and the second part focuses on the business value assessment of COBIT 5 by looking at the association between the use of COBIT enablers and processes and the achievement of IT-related and enterprise goals. 
The detailed survey results, summarized in this publication, provide to a broad audience of ISACA members, GEIT professionals and COBIT users highly valuable benchmarking information and insights, on which a business case for adopting COBIT 5 guidance can be built."
