ENISA Threat Landscape 2024
I contributed to the ENISA Threat Landscape 2024.
The ETL is an annual report on the status of the cybersecurity threat landscape. It identifies the top threats, major trends observed with respect to threats, threat actors and attack techniques, as well as impact and motivation analysis. It also describes relevant mitigation measures.
Throughout the latter part of 2023 and the initial half of 2024, there was a notable escalation in cybersecurity attacks, setting new benchmarks in both the variety and number of incidents, as well as their consequences. The ongoing regional conflicts still remain a significant factor shaping the cybersecurity landscape. The phenomenon of hacktivism has seen steady expansion, with major events taking place (e.g. European Elections) providing the motivation for increased hacktivist activity. The prime threats identified and analysed include:
- Ransomware
- Malware
- Social engineering
- Threats against data
- Threats against availability: Denial of Service
- Information manipulation and interference
- Supply chain attacks
