Threat Intelligence Briefing

Global threat volume increased by 16.0% versus the previous period, a notable but not exceptional deviation from typical daily fluctuations. The primary drivers were attacks, spam, and brute-force campaigns, consistent with routine background noise. Nordic activity remains stable and low, with Sweden (14 events) and Norway (6 events) showing no significant deviation from their 7-day average. The top threat IPs are concentrated in SSH brute-force attacks, predominantly originating from Dutch and Russian ASNs, a persistent pattern observed for weeks. Focus defensive efforts on the SSH brute-force campaign pattern from ASNs in NL and RU rather than individual IPs, which are ephemeral. Consider implementing temporary rate-limiting rules for SSH authentication attempts from these high-risk networks. No immediate action is required for Nordic-originating traffic, which remains at baseline levels.
