FortiGuard Labs' Derek Manky Talks Swarm Attacks, War of Deception - SDxCentral

In a conversation at the recent RSA Conference, Manky explained the strategy behind swarm attacks -- one of the scarier emerging threats that he's been following for a few years. "And I do think this is on the horizon," he said.
