CyberRes announced the release of the first Annual Report on the current state of cyberthreats and an overview of cyber events in 2021. This strategic report signifies another milestone of the advanced threat research journey that started with the launch of the immersive Galaxy Online platform in January 2022 to deliver better cyber resiliency to the market.
CyberRes’ Research shows that threats have rapidly evolved to target the growing threat surface of organizations that have incorporated digital into their business growth DNA. As organizations move quickly to adopt digital as a competitive differentiator, adversaries are equally quick at exploiting vulnerabilities in the digital value chain.
The 2022 CyberRes Galaxy Annual Report is the first in a series to provide a perspective on geopolitical, regional and industry threat conditions and what to expect throughout the year. Some of the key findings for 2021 outlined in the report include:
“Everyone is at risk from feeling direct or indirect impacts from cyberattacks, as all records were smashed last year in terms of the sheer number of cyberattacks on government entities, private-sector organizations, and individuals,” said Mark Fernandes, Global CTO at CyberRes. “Unfortunately, this trend is continuing in 2022. One of the key effective defenses is to maintain a clear understanding of the current landscape, tactics, and threats that could be emerging.”
This Annual Report was compiled by experts in the CyberRes Galaxy Threat Research Program, which continuously tracks existing and emerging global cybersecurity threats. In addition to active threats, the program continuously tracks geopolitical and social events, as research has shown that they have a direct correlation to cyber activity and the constantly evolving threat landscape.
