DDoS Threat Intelligence Reports from 2023 have shown us the real impact of these attacks across different sectors, from political hacktivism to attacks against DNS servers resulting in widespread collateral damage and to the gaming world where every microsecond is life or death (virtually). But it’s not all doom and gloom. Thanks to strong collaboration, predictive and proactive mitigations, and advanced threat intelligence, we’re better equipped to face these challenges head-on.

Gaining insight and visibility into the DDoS threat landscape is the first step down the road to predictive DDoS defense.
