2020 was an unprecedented year. The global pandemic changed the way we work, travel, play, and stay connected — increasing our reliance on the Internet, more than ever. As more of our activities shifted online, so did the number of cyber threats we observed over the Internet.
DDoS attacks, specifically, dominated the charts in terms of frequency, sophistication, and geo-distribution in the last year.
