An evolving cyber threat landscape

Cybercrime is a growing, global problem affecting organizations and society at large. In this year's release of our annual Threat Intelligence Report, we aim not only to explain how the cyber threat landscape is evolving but also why it's changing - to help you predict evolving cyber threats and plan your organization's protection and response accordingly.

In 2022, we saw how geopolitical changes affected the cyber threat landscape, resulting in increased criminal activities and the emergence of new gray zone cyber threats. Cybercriminals are also becoming more efficient and specialized in their skills and toolsets.

There are steps organizations can immediately take to improve their cybersecurity posture. That's why we've dedicated a large part of this report to providing solid advice and recommendations to help you cope with the cybersecurity challenges of the coming year and beyond.
