The European Cybersecurity Agency (ENISA)’s threat landscape annual report 2022 is heavily influenced by the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the cyber landscape.
Covering the period from July 2021 up to July 2022, the report was presented under the title Volatile Geopolitics Shake the Trends of the 2022 Cybersecurity Threat Landscape during the Prague Security Conference on November 3, 2022.
“The geopolitical situations, particularly the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have acted as a game changer over the reporting period for the global cyber domain,” reads the report.
Examining the monthly breakdown of cyber incidents, the report shows an increase in February and March 2022, around the time the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February.
Overall, however, 2022 saw a reduction in number of incidents compared to 2021 – partly because incident handling and analysis are still ongoing and because of the open-source nature of the information collected by ENISA.
