The global cyber threat landscape as illustrated on the map above reflects a complex interplay interplay of geopolitical factors, regulatory environments, economic wealth, and the influence of hactivism. These elements contribute to the varying intensities of cyber attacks across regions.
Countries such as the United States of America, Canada, German and the United Kingdom experience attack level due to their significant geopolitical influence making them attract targets for nation-state actors seeking strategic advantages. Their wealth and advanced digital infrastructures also expose them to cyber criminals who see these nations as prime sources of valuable data and resources.
We will continue to analyse and gather data on cyber threats to deepen our understanding of their revolving nature. The key take away is that, while cyber threats are inherently global, their impact varies by region, with each area facing unique levels of risk. Recognising these patterns is essential for targeted cybersecurity efforts, enabling organisations and government to strategically allocate resources where they are most needed to mitigate threats effectively.
