H-ISAC TLP White Joint CISA FBI MS-ISAC Guide on Responding to DDoS Attacks and DDoS Guidance

On October 28, 2022, CISA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) have released Understanding and Responding to Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks to provide organizations proactive steps to reduce the likelihood and impact of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The guidance is for both network defenders and leaders to help them understand and respond to DDoS attacks, which can cost an organization time, money, and reputational damage. 

Concurrently, CISA has released Capacity Enhancement Guide (CEG): Additional DDoS Guidance for Federal Agencies, which provides federal civilian executive branch (FCEB) agencies additional DDoS guidance, including recommended FCEB contract vehicles and services that provide DDoS protection and mitigations.  

Health-ISAC is urges members to review these practices for a more collective defense against DDoS attacks.  

If anyone has additional information to share, Health-ISAC encourages members to report their findings to toc@h-isac.org.
