Intra-Carrier And Inter-Carrier Network Security System

摘要

A system and method for identifying distributed attacks, such as, but not limited to, distributed denial of service attacks and botnet attacks, in a first network serviced by a first carrier and configured to alert a second network serviced by a second carrier that is different from the first carrier is disclosed. Once an attack has been identified, an attack alert is generated and provided to the second network or other aspects of the first network, or both. The attack alerts may be distributed dynamically with the second network via diameter based security protocol Rs. Such system and method may mitigate distributed malicious attacks by sharing destination internet protocol and bad international mobile subscriber identity information across carriers.
