Abstract
A method and system for protecting cloud-hosted applications against application-layer slow distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The comprising collecting telemetries from a plurality of sources deployed in at least one cloud computing platform hosting a protected cloud-hosted application; providing a set of rate-based and rate-invariant features based on the collected telemetries; evaluating each feature in the set of rate-based and rate-invariant features to determine whether a behavior of each feature and a behavior of the set of rate-based and rate-invariant features indicate a potential application-layer slow DDoS attack; and causing execution of a mitigation action, when an indication of a potential application-layer slow DDoS attack is determined.
