A new study outlines an approach to forecasting DDoS activity using deep learning. The researchers from Universiti Malaya and Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka analyzed 192,525 DDoS … More → The post Predicting DDoS attacks: How deep learning could give defenders an early warning appeared first on Help Net Security.
