While the cyber security industry toils to solve the mounting DDoS problem, the solution may lie in blockchain technology.
Spearheading these efforts is a startup called Gladius, who aim to defeat DDoS attacks by creating a network of bandwidth sharing.
The core of all DDoS attacks involves using up the bandwidth of their victims’ servers. Most servers are centralized, with a finite amount of bandwidth, so a sudden flood of excess traffic can fill that space up quickly and lead to disruption of service.
The answer, Gladius believe, lies in simply providing more bandwidth. This is tricky under the current centralized system, so they plan to create a decentralized network of servers that can share bandwidth with one another when the need arises.
The key to this lies in blockchain technology.
