more DDoS attacks on the Link11 network compared to last year.

Cyberattacks are no longer an abstract threat – they dominate risk planning for companies worldwide. The latest Link11 European Cyber Report shows an alarming trend: the number of DDoS attacks has more than doubled, and they are shorter, more targeted, and more technically sophisticated. Organizations that do not continuously evolve their security strategies face significant financial losses and long-term reputational damage.

The numbers speak for themselves:

•  137% more DDoS attacks on the Link11 network compared to last year.
• A new scale has been reached: The largest attack measured to date was 1.4 terabits per second (Tbps).

• Multi-vector attacks are setting new standards: The combination of different attack vectors makes defence more difficult and requires more precise protection.
