Staying ahead of the United States’ dynamic DDoS threat landscape requires continuous monitoring and analysis to understand how adversaries change their tactics and targets. NETSCOUT 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 feature 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.
