In this work, we present solutions, which aim to protect services against sophisticated distributed denial-of-service attacks. These solutions can effectively handle attacks that: (1) involve sending requests which resemble legitimate ones, (2) involve exploiting vulnerabilities that exist in different online services, (3) take advantage of the changing trends in network traffic, and (4) often require online services to get help from their ISPs for mitigation, due to the high volumes of attack traffic.\n \n Zoom link: https://usc.zoom.us/j/98623683240 DTSTART:20220210T120000 LOCATION: URL;VALUE=URI: DTEND:20220210T130000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
