Continuous monitoring and analysis are necessary to keep up with the ever-changing DDoS threat landscape, as adversaries alter their behavior and targets. NETSCOUT keeps tabs on the global threat landscape and analyzes regional and country-level statistics to stay up to date on near-real-time trends by adversaries. The automated country-level analytics covering Spain on this page utilize our global threat analysis and collection platform, ATLAS, and cover various benchmarks for a given 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.
