"More DDoS attacks were blocked during the first nine months of 2021 than all of 2020," said Pascal Geenens, director of threat intelligence for Radware.

"During the third quarter, DDoS records for large volumetric attacks were broken across three continents. At the same time, phantom floods, or micro attacks that typically fly below the radar, increased. The reality is organizations need more granular detection and multi-layer defenses to protect against stealthier and more complex DDoS attacks."

Yearly trends:The number of DDoS events blocked was up 75% during the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

The total volume blocked in the first nine months of 2021 was 44% higher than the same period in 2020.

The number of blocked web security events per company doubled every quarter for the first three quarters of 2021.

Quarterly trends:The third quarter of 2021 accounted for 2.1 million blocked security events per company per quarter, or an average of 700,000 blocked security events per month per company.
