Globally, suspicious activity (628,358) and severe abuse (171,229) dominated threat categories. SSH brute force attacks were prevalent, particularly from IPs <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/45.135.232.92" target="_blank">45.135.232.92</a> (Russia) and <a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/213.176.16.213" target="_blank">213.176.16.213</a> (Netherlands). Focus on monitoring these IPs and Nordic networks showing brute force patterns. Implement SSH hardening and review firewall rules for anomalous traffic from these sources.
