THREAT INTELLIGENCE CAN BE CONSIDERED “THE ART OF TAKING THE ADVERSARY BY SURPRISE.” ANTICIPATING, MITIGATING, AND PREVENTING SURPRISES IN THE FORM OF CYBERATTACKS IS THE PRIMARY MISSION OF A PRACTICAL THREAT INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM.
Achieving that goal requires a proactive approach that answers critical questions like the following: Which threat actors are most likely to cause an impact in my organization? What are their motivations, goals, and capabilities? How do they behave, and what cyber-weapons do they use to achieve those goals? And most importantly, what actionable countermeasures can I deploy to improve my organization’s cyber defense capabilities?
Our team is proud to release our first BlackBerry Cybersecurity Global Threat Intelligence Report. The mission of this report is to provide actionable intelligence on targeted attacks, cybercrime-motivated threat actors, and campaigns targeting organizations like yours so that you can make well-informed decisions and take prompt effective actions.
In this first edition, you’ll find reports from some of the top threat researchers and intelligence analysts on the BlackBerry Threat Research and Intelligence team, world-class experts who understand not only technical threats but also local and global geopolitical developments and their impact on organizational threat models in each region. To produce this report (covering the 90 days between September 1 and November 30, 2022), the team leveraged data and telemetry obtained from our own artificial intelligence (AI)-driven products and analytical capabilities, complemented by other public and private intelligence sources.
