ENISA Threat Landscape 2022

The ENISA Threat Landscape 2022 report is the annual report of the EU Agency for Cybersecurity on the state of the cybersecurity threat landscape. With more than 10 terabytes of data stolen monthly, ransomware still fares as one of the prime threats in the new report with phishing now identified as the most common initial vector of such attacks. The other threats to rank highest along ransomware are attacks against availability also called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. However, the geopolitical situations particularly the Russian invasion of Ukraine have acted as a game changer over the reporting period for the global cyber domain. While we still observe an increase in the number of threats, we also see a wider range of vectors emerge such as zero-day exploits and AI-enabled disinformation and deep fakes. As a result, more malicious and widespread attacks emerge having a more damaging impact.
