SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- It is well-reported that the pandemic caused a spike in cyberattacks, including malware, ransomware and DDoS attacks. Threat actors have sought to disrupt not only services people rely on every day like healthcare, education and financial but also critical infrastructure, like food supply chains, utilities and government agencies. Correspondingly, there has been a dramatic increase in the weapons that can be used to launch these attacks. In the 2H 2021 reporting period, A10 Networks' security research team tracked over 15.4 million DDoS weapons in 2021. Recently, A10 Networks' threat intelligence detailed the use of DDoS attacks to disrupt infrastructure and communications in Ukraine in February 2022 just as Russia launched its ground attack.
