Saudi Arabia
The DDoS threat landscape is constantly evolving in Saudi Arabia, necessitating ongoing monitoring and analysis to identify how adversaries are changing their behavior and targets. NETSCOUT continuously monitors the global threat landscape and drills down into regional and country-level statistics to ensure we are 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 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.
