Kenya
Keeping up with the ever-changing DDoS threat landscape demands continuous monitoring and analysis in Kenya to identify how adversaries are changing their tactics and targets. NETSCOUT regularly monitors the global threat landscape and examines regional and country-level statistics to stay informed of near-real-time trends by adversaries. The country-level analytics presented on this page are automatically generated using our global threat analysis and collection platform, ATLAS, and provide a range of benchmarks for the specified time period, such as the top vectors used in DDoS attacks, top targeted industries, largest attack by bandwidth and throughput, most vectors used in an attack, and total attack frequency.
