This year the report highlighted the increasingly complex threat landscape and the corresponding escalating pressure on defenders to enhance visibility into and resilience of OT/ICS networks Organizations with strong incident response capabilities, defensible architectures, secure remote access protocols, and robust network monitoring are far better positioned to reduce the risk of a successful attack on the enterprise OT even in this increasingly complex environment.

This year highlighted the increasingly complex threat landscape and the corresponding escalating pressure on defenders to enhance visibility into and resilience of OT/ICS networks. This focus on simplicity highlights a critical point for defenders: effective implementation of the SANS ICS 5 Critical Controls remains the best defense against OT targeting adversaries.

This year, we also delve deeper into the threats facing critical infrastructure, particularly within Operational Technology and mobile networks. With increased connectivity and the adoption of IoT and 5G, these systems offer an expanded attack surface that calls for comprehensive, cross-functional defenses. Our goal is not only to adopt the latest technologies but to do so thoughtfully, balancing progress with caution to secure a safer digital world.

Alto’s methodology employs a data-first approach with the objective of supporting experts and practitioners establish an evidence-based understanding of the complex, multivariate nature of extremism and radicalization online and its multi-layered relationship with: the vulnerabilities linked to certain narratives and ideologies that constitute a part of public discourse and can be weaponized with specific aims. this report does highlight specific domains, channels and other digital spaces to aid practitioners in understanding the mechanics of the digital spaces analyzed.

This report serves as a beacon of insight, offering a comprehensive analysis of the emerging trends, evolving techniques, varied motivations and techniques employed by threat actors from January 2023 to March 2024. Curated by our globally diverse intelligence team, this report is a testament to Intel 471’s collective commitment to understand your adversaries, expose their tactics and empower you to win the fight against them.

Our Ensign Threat Classification Matrix for identified threat groups helps organizations to prioritize their cyber defense against the territory-contextualised threats. We provide the MITRE ATT&CK heat-maps to support organizations in prioritizing their cyber defenses against specific adversary techniques and follow-through defensive actions, such as threat hunting, Red Teaming, and tuning of detection rules. We have also laid out the observed top targeted industry groups and top exploited vulnerabilities.

Attackers continue to gain ground. In 2023, the average duration of attacks increased by 403%. Read about DDoS trends and what you can do about them in Zayo’s DDoS Insights Report. This report contains insights, analysis, and conclusions about each industry under attack. Further, it provides you the steps to take to ensure your business isn’t harmed by the DDoS attacks heading your way.

The report presents the industry’s most comprehensive analysis of intelligence from 2023. It covers threat actors and their playbook of targets, methods, and attacks to help you eliminate blind spots in your current security posture. groups, and more for the year ahead. Wherever you are in your threat intelligence journey, you can use this report as a roadmap. It will help you strengthen your operations, create a forward looking strategy, and protect your organization’s data, intellectual property, and brand reputation.

The 2024 edition of the CrowdStrike Global Threat Report arrives at a pivotal moment for our global community of protectors. The speed and ferocity of cyberattacks continue to accelerate as adversaries compress the time between initial entry, lateral movement and breach. At the same time, the rise of generative AI has the potential to lower the barrier of entry for low-skilled adversaries, making it easier to launch attacks that are more sophisticated and state of the art. These trends are driving a tectonic shift in the security landscape and the world.

The Security Navigator reflects first and foremost the reality of the conflictual nature of cyber warfare. It mirrors the disinhibition of threat actors motivated by state strategies or hacktivism as well as criminal opportunities. In this environment, espionage, sabotage, disinformation and extortion are becoming increasingly intertwined. This document is also intended to become the cornerstone of the partnership of trust that we wish to build with you. It must enrich our debates within a community that is still too isolated.

In our Security Report, we discuss a few more trends observed by cp throughout the year. The Russia-Ukraine war demonstrated how the traditional, kinetic, war can be augmented by a cybernetic war. It has also influenced the broader threat landscape in the rapid changes of hacktivism and how independent threat actors choose to work for state-affiliated missions.

The Evolution of DDoS: Return of the Hacktivists is a joint report by FS-ISAC and Akamai to educate our community on the new and evolving threat of DDoS, the business risks it poses, and best practices on mitigation for the sector to better combat these attacks.

Our research and collection methods largely are driven by our GIRs, however, we continue to acknowledge that new trends in our reporting, recurring requests for information (FRIs) and other significant activity from or against underground threat actors and/or services are equally important to our research into trending topics.

This report leveraged the Fortinet service to provide a deep dive into what adversaries are seeing, doing, and planning, enabling organizations to better understand the threats posed by the growth of criminal forums and markets operating on the darknet. The report covers global, regional, and industry/sector threat landscape perspective as well as protection recommendations for IT and OT organizations for darknet activity observed during Q2 2022.

This report was complied using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), the practice of collecting information from published or otherwise publicly available sources, and Sysdig TRT’s global data collection network. Data on cryptominers and DDoS agents was detected through Sysdig’s advanced honeynets. The honeynet is designed to capture attacks and analyze the tools used by threat actors.

Radware’s first half of 2022 threat report reviews the most important cybersecurity events, and provides detailed insights into the attack activities for the first six months of 2022. The report leverages intelligence provided by Radware’s Threat Intelligence Team, network and application-attack activity sourced from Radware’s Cloud and Managed Services, Radware’s Global Deception Network, and Radware’s Threat Research team.

This report is to share notable trends and investigations to help inform our community’s understanding of the evolving security threats we see. During some quarters, our reporting may focus more on a particular adversarial trend or tactics we see emerge across different threat actors. During other quarters, we may dive into an especially complex investigation or walk through a novel policy application and relate threat disruptions.

In this report, we have researched the detected new round of offensive and destructive cyberattacks directed against Ukraine’s digital infrastructure and its alliances.

This report is Meta’s quarterly adversarial threat report that provides a broad view into the risks we see worldwide and across multiple policy violations.

This report examines publicly disclosed data breach events, and describes trends and key changes for Q3 2020.

Against the backdrop of mounting threat in an era of disruption, the most forward-thinking cybersecurity functions can be critical agents of change. But this will require organizations to foster new relationships between CISOs, the board and C-suite, and every function of the business.
