Keeping up with the ever-changing Australian DDoS threat landscape is a daunting task, but NETSCOUT has the tools and expertise to do so. We conduct continuous monitoring and analysis of global threat data and drill down into regional and country-level statistics to identify trends in near real-time. This allows us to provide our clients with the most up-to-date protection against DDoS attacks. The country-level analytics presented on our page include top vectors used in DDoS attacks, top targeted industries, and various benchmarks for the specified period of time to include: largest attack by bandwidth and throughput, most vectors used in an attack, and total attack frequency.
