Italy
The Italian DDoS threat landscape is in constant flux, making ongoing monitoring and analysis critical for understanding how adversaries are changing their tactics and targets. NETSCOUT takes a vigilant approach to monitoring the global threat landscape and examining regional and country-level statistics to track near-real-time trends by adversaries. The country-level analytics on this page are automatically generated using our global threat analysis and collection platform, ATLAS, and offer a range of benchmarks for the given time period, such as the top vectors utilized in DDoS attacks, top targeted industries, largest attack by bandwidth and throughput, most vectors used in an attack, and total attack frequency.
