To stay ahead of Colombia’s dynamic DDoS threat landscape, ongoing monitoring and analysis are crucial to identify how adversaries adjust their behavior 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 various benchmarks for the specified time period, including 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.
