- Where are cyber threats emerging from and how are they impacting the threat environment?
- Regional cyber threat environment analysis across Europe, APAC, Middle East, Americas, and Africa
- How are hackers using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to develop new malware, conduct scans and automate cyberattacks
- The Chinese cyber conveyor belt and its implications for you
- Security gaps that hackers and APT groups are exploiting
- How are CISOs responding to cyber threats
- What are APT actors targeting and how are they collaborating to achieve common goals

Specific Findings:
- Major AI-powered cyber event will occur in H2 of 2023; AI-based cyber threat modeling is yet to keep up with the type of AI-powered threats that are emerging in the wild
- Unsecured OT networks are accessible through the internet: open ports connected to OT networks are easily discoverable, accessible, and scannable from the web
- Healthcare and education entities are being targeted by rookie hackers for training purposes
- Hackers are now deploying newer models to mop up revenue faster. This includes multi-point infection on supply chains that could lead to more than one entity getting infected
- Chinese APT groups are vacuuming up upto 75 TB of data each data from target networks
- APT actors are also becoming more active in LATAM countries
- Weaponized resumés are now connected with as much as 16 percent of all cyber attacks
- New Lockbit variants are showing signs of AI-induced modification
- Russian APT groups are training other APT groups elsewhere
- Attacks on IoT and OT-based infrastructure have logged a rise across the globe
- When it comes to the communication hierarchy, North Korean APT hackers operate through commands given directly to them through a single handler. In the case of Chinese, Iranian, and Russian APT actors, multiple handlers manage hackers in parallel.
