  • Summary: SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 21, 2016) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) JAY KAPLAN, CO-FOUNDER AND CEO OF SECURITY COMPANY SYNACK, SAYING: "We've actually seen an increase of over 125 percent denial of service attacks year over year. Akamai recently reported that they're seeing upwards of 50,000 denial of service attacks per quarter, which is unprecedented.
