Portugal

The DDoS threat landscape in Portugal is in constant flux, necessitating ongoing monitoring and analysis to identify how adversaries are altering their behavior and targets. NETSCOUT continuously monitors the global threat landscape and scrutinizes regional and country-level statistics to ensure we remain 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 offer a variety 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.
