  • In 2024, 11.5% of global DDoS attacks are targeted at the Government sector. On average, a DDoS attack on the Government sector lasts 1000 minutes.

Attacks against the government sector can compromise national security, destabilize institutions, and severely damage public trust. Hacktivism attacks often aim to influence public opinion and cause social unrest. Furthermore, the theft of sensitive data can lead to serious political and diplomatic implications, endangering internal and international stability. The increasing sophistication of attacks makes defense increasingly difficult, requiring advanced resources and skills to protect critical infrastructures.
