To stay on top of the constantly shifting DDoS threat landscape in Nigeria and understand how adversaries are adapting their tactics and targets, ongoing monitoring and analysis is critical. NETSCOUT is vigilant in monitoring the global threat landscape and examining regional and country-level statistics to track 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. These statistics include various benchmarks for the specified 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.
