State Service: "DDOS and other types of cyber attacks on Azerbaijan are successfully prevented"
"Computer Emergency Response Team of the Special Communication and Information Security State Service (SCİS) constantly monitors cyber attacks against our country and conducts 24/7 monitoring."
"Whether in the active phases of the war or in our daily activities, our Service keeps such cyber- attack preparations under control through various international cooperation with foreign special services or CERT centers, or with the help of cyber intelligence solutions, and when any threat arises, it informs the relevant institutions, critical infrastructure about it. as well as citizens also we coordinate various levels of measures to prevent cyberattacks, sometimes at the country level, sometimes outside the country, and sometimes on the state network, together with the State Security Service, the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, and backbone providers," he said.
According to the state official, starting from August 4, DDOS and other types of cyber-attacks against Azerbaijan's state institutions, banks, news sites, universities and some providers are successfully prevented: "Measures taken by the State Service give a special advantage to state institutions connected to the AzstateNet network to continue their activities without interruption and security."
"Currently, incoming DDOS attacks with the number of 10 million requests per second in the volume of 40G are being prevented," T. Mammadov added.
According to him, although the analysis of the IP addresses used in this cyberattack company, which was launched by the Armenian cyber forces in response to the KISAS anti-terrorist operation, shows that they include the IP addresses of infected systems and zombie computers belonging to different countries, the cases of IP addresses belonging to neighboring countries are particularly noteworthy:
"Currently, work is being continued with international partners to determine whether such IP addresses are "spoofed" or "zombie".
According to T. Mammadov, numerous specially targeted APT cyber attacks were prevented by blocking 427 IOCs with the analysis of cyber attacks in the last 7 months.
"For information, I would like to clarify one thing. Sometimes cyber attacks especially during DDOS attacks corresponding IP ranges are blocked by us. Don't be deceived by such screenshots. So this is explained by the fact that the İP ranges they use are in the block. In real life, the continuous operation of those systems can be checked by accessing those resources," he added.
"In general, I would like to note that although such cyber-attacks in fact only intensify during special events and times, there is almost no break in their continuity. We are constantly dealing with the processing of such cyber-attacks and incidents, and we operate 24/7 so that their impact is not felt in state information systems. At the same time, the audit/pentest department of our Service constantly checks the stability of the information systems of state institutions against new types of threats and submits relevant reports in order to eliminate the gaps," said T. Mammadov.
He said that during the last 7 months, security gaps were discovered in 278 information resources belonging to state bodies, and measures were taken to eliminate them.
