The malware, attacker trends and more that shaped the threat landscape in 2023
Summary: Cisco Talos released its 2023 Year in Review, analyzing data from endpoint detections, incident response engagements, network traffic, email corpus, sandboxes and honeypots to track how global conflict shaped threat actor tactics across espionage and cybercrime. The report covers top exploited CVEs, spam tactics, top MITRE ATT&CK techniques, and deep dives on ransomware and extortion, attacks on network infrastructure devices, APT activity in China, Russia and the Middle East, and commodity loaders.
What's compelling: Talos concludes that despite the accelerated pace of threat actor campaigns, the defensive community's diligence and collaboration are pushing adversaries back - a claim worth testing against your own incident data from the past year.
