MSI Strategy & Tactics Talk Ep. 20: Denial of Service Attacks

We haven’t seen anywhere near the thresholds that could happen with massive scale bot-nets. I think it’s clear that bot-nets are the future weapon of DoS and we’ll continue to see that until somebody takes away the capability. In addition, mobile devices are going to experience an increase in DoS attacks. – Brent Huston, MSI CEO and Security Evangelist
