Jakarta (B2B) - Sebagian besar pengguna jaringan Internet di Indonesia masih menganggap serangan "distributed denial of service" (DDoS) sebagai hal wajar dan bukan sebagai ancaman.
"Perusahaan atau pemilik situs tidak sadar ketika lalu lintas Internet mereka penuh atau melonjak drastis tiba-tiba server mati. Lalu dinyalakan ulang dan itu terus terulang," kata Konsultan Teknis Fortinet Indonesia, Daniel Aroman Hadi, selepas jumpa pers peluncuran FortiDDoS di Jakarta, Kamis.
DDoS merupakan salah satu serangan siber yang berupa permintaan akses terhadap sebuah situs dalam volume besar dan durasi konstan. Serangan itu menyebabkan kualitas koneksi pengguna Internet situs tertentu akan menurun atau putus karena jalur Internet atau server aplikasi terlalu padat.
Daniel mengatakan, jumlah serangan DDoS di Indonesia termasuk dalam empat terbesar di dunia dengan persentase 8,6 persen dari total serangan siber.
"Jenis serangan DDoS sendiri ada tiga lapis, pertama menyerang bandwith, kedua menyerang server, dan ketiga menyerang aplikasi atau program perambahan," kata Daniel.
Pendeteksian manual terhadap serangan DDoS, menurut Daniel, dapat diketahui jika lalu-lintas data meningkat hingga 70 persen dan berlangsung di luar waktu-waktu normal, bahkan 24 jam.
"DDoS tidak hanya berupa pihak luar yang menyerang situs, tapi juga komputer kita yang menyerang situs lain karena telah terinfeksi trojan, worm, atau malware," katanya.
Dalam acara hari ini, Fortinet meluncurkan jajaran produk perlindungan serangan DDoS yaitu FortiDDoS-100A, FortiDDoS-200A, dan FortiDDoS-300A.
Jakarta (B2B) - Most of internet users in Indonesia still consider "distributed denial of service" (DDoS) attack as common thing instead of a threat.
“Company or site owner do not realize when internet traffic gets fully loaded or soar high, suddenly the server goes off. Then they restart it and it keeps happening,” said Technical Consultant of Fortinet Indonesia, Daniel Aroman Hadi, after press conference of FortiDDoS launching event in Jakarta on Thursday.
DDoS is a cyber attack which requests an access to a site in a big volume and constant duration. The attack causes certain web users’ internet connection to get slow or goes off because the internet route or application server is too crowded.
Daniel said that the number of attacks in Indonesia is the 4th biggest number in the world with 8.6% out of total cyber attack.
“There are three kinds of DDoS attack, the first one attacks bandwith, the second one attacks server, and the third one attacks application or extension program,” said Daniel.
Manual detection on the attack, Daniel said, can be known if data traffic increases into 70% and it happens beyond normal hours, and even for a whole day.
“DDoS is not only outsiders attacking sites, but also our computers attacking other websites because they have been infected by Trojan, worm, or malware,” he said.
In the event, Fortinet launched series of products to prevent DDoS attack, namely FortiDDoS-100A, FortiDDoS-200A, and FortiDDoS-300A.
