NETSCOUT understands the importance of staying ahead of the curve in the ever-changing world of DDoS threats. We conduct ongoing monitoring by utilizing our global threat analysis and collection platform, ATLAS, which allows us to automate country-level analytics for Japan and many others and drill down into regional and country-level statistics to identify trends in near real-time. 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.
