There have been significant changes in web attack and traffic trends as a result of COVID-19, according to Imperva.

Amid COVID-19, web traffic and attack trends were affected.

During the month of March, changes in traffic and attack trends were tracked across multiple industries and countries as the coronavirus pandemic escalated.

In March, a balancing effect took place as some industries saw increases in both traffic and attacks, while others saw less traffic and attacks.

Network DDoS peaked at 279 GBPS. Aimed at a domain name registrar and web hosting company in the U.S., Imperva registered a network DDoS attack that peaked at 279 GBPS which is 37% higher than the average network DDoS attack in the last three months.
