Collaborative attack mitigation and response: A survey
Jessica Steinberger, Anna Sperotto, Harald Baier, Aiko Pras · 2015
Over recent years, network-based attacks have become one of the top causes of network infrastructure and service outages. To counteract such attacks, an approach is to move mitigation from the target network to the networks of Internet Service Providers (ISP). However, it remains unclear to what extent countermeasures are set up and which mitigation approaches are adopted by ISPs. The goal of this paper is to present the results of a survey that aims to gain insight into processes, structures and capabilities of ISPs to mitigate and respond to network-based attacks.
