Every damaging DDoS attack today traces back to one root cause — a configuration vulnerability in defenses that were supposed to work. Matthew Andriani, Founder and CEO of MazeBolt, sits down with Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to share what nearly two decades inside the DDoS industry — first at Checkpoint and Radware's emergency response team, now leading MazeBolt — has taught him about why point-in-time red team tests aren't enough. Matthew breaks down why an enterprise environment with just 100 services has at least 15,000 attack points, why MazeBolt's data shows a 37% average configuration gap across vendors like Akamai, Cloudflare, Imperva, and Radware, and how RADAR continuously validates DDoS defenses without disruption. He also unpacks how attackers are using AI for orchestrated and generated attacks, and why per-environment vulnerability data is the missing layer that lets defensive AI actually work.
