Abstract
Localized and global detection and mitigation of network attacks in a distributed platform are provided. The localized detection identifies attacks occurring at individual nodes of the distributed platform based on packet analysis conducted by each individual node. The global detection identifies attacks occurring across the distributed platform based on packet analysis conducted on traffic aggregated from across the distributed platform. Either detection involves inspecting headers of the sampled packets. Each header property is scored based on an amount of deviation from threshold values. The sum of scores identifies the header properties that form an attack signature. Attack protections are implemented against subsequently arriving packets with header properties matching the attack signature.
