Argentina
To keep up with Argentina’s constantly evolving DDoS threat landscape, ongoing monitoring and analysis are essential to understand how adversaries are modifying their strategies and targets. NETSCOUT regularly monitors the global threat landscape and drills down into regional and country-level statistics to ensure that we have current information on 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 include various 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.
