Protective Networking (ProNet). A framework for coordinated responses to distributed attacks

In the era of 5G networks, security issues are global and protean. With the likely multiplication of services and uses, sometimes triggered by major crises such as the recent epidemic linked to the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the attack surface is significantly increased.

The "Protective Networking" approach described in this article will undoubtedly make a major contribution to automating the implementation of Internet-wide mitigation plans, while enabling attacks of any scale to be anticipated, detected and dealt with before they can spread and reach their victims.

ProNet architectures provide the robust, reliable and efficient means of a collaborative mode capable of being deployed on a large scale: mitigation service providers (DMS) will be able to share their mitigation practices, provide assistance to partner DMS services and contribute...
