DESCRIPTION:For network operators\, ISPs and Telcos in the Baltics\, DDoS r
 isk is changing - and the biggest attack is not necessarily the most dange
 rous one.\nDrawing on 12 months of DDoS data observed across RETN’s netw
 ork\, this presentation challenges the industry’s continued focus on pea
 k attack size as the primary measure of threat. A 24.9 Tbps attack observe
 d in November 2025 was almost nine times larger than any other monthly pea
 k in the dataset - yet its size alone tells us little about the potential 
 impact on a network or its customers.\nThis talk touches on how smaller\, 
 distributed and deliberately low-volume attacks can be more disruptive tha
 n record-breaking floods. Carpet-bombing\, precision attacks and evolving 
 attack techniques can target multiple prefixes\, place pressure on network
  infrastructure or evade traditional detection thresholds without producin
 g headline-grabbing traffic volumes.\nFor Baltic operators\, the challenge
  is knowing what to look for and how to prepare. Andrejs will examine how 
 the threat is evolving around the region\, including risks from compromise
 d network equipment and distributed attack sources\, and why operators nee
 d to look beyond bandwidth - measuring detection speed\, affected targets\
 , root-cause clarity and the time it takes to understand and contain an at
 tack.
