Ecuador

The threat of DDoS attacks in Ecuador constantly evolves and requires ongoing monitoring and analysis to detect how adversaries are changing their strategies and targets. NETSCOUT consistently monitors the global threat landscape and drills down into regional and country-level statistics to ensure that we stay current with near-real-time trends by adversaries. The country-level analytics featured on this page are automatically generated using our global threat analysis and collection platform, ATLAS, and include a range 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.
