A groundbreaking study from Punjabi University is tackling one of the most urgent issues of the digital era—large-scale cyberattacks aimed at cloud-based and digital networks.
The research, titled "Development of Distributed Denial of Service Attack Detection Technique in Software-Defined Network Enabled Cloud," has been conducted by Dr. Jasmeen Kaur Chahal, a research scholar from the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, under the guidance of Dr. Abhinav Bhandari (Assistant Professor, CSE, Punjabi University, Patiala) and Dr. Sunny Behal (Associate Professor, SBSSTU, Ferozepur).
The results of the study have already received international acclaim through publication in a prestigious SCI-indexed journal with an impressive Impact Factor of 12.7, highlighting both its academic significance and practical implications.
Supervisor Dr. Abhinav Bhandari stated that this innovative work aims to bolster defenses against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and other emerging cyber threats that increasingly affect governments, industries, and individuals.
He mentioned that the research adds to the field of resilient digital infrastructure, providing a solid, tested model that incorporates advanced security measures into cloud and network operations.
This strategy improves digital reliability, reduces service interruptions, and establishes stronger cybersecurity frameworks to protect sensitive data, financial systems, and vital online services.
Dr. Jasmeen Kaur Chahal noted that the developed technique offers significant advantages for various stakeholders.
For industries, it guarantees the protection of digital platforms and services, preventing financial or operational setbacks. For governments, it enhances national cybersecurity resilience.
For the public, it protects essential online resources such as government platforms.(Reporter can be contacted at amritbrar2012@gmail.com)
