Executive Summary

Global threat volume increased by 27.5% versus the previous period, representing a significant deviation from the baseline. The surge is primarily driven by SSH brute force and generic attack vectors, with top-source countries remaining consistent (US, CN, IN). Nordic region activity remains stable and within expected low-volume parameters, with Finland (19 events) and Sweden (13 events) showing routine, non-critical probing. The top threat IPs are concentrated in known hostile ASNs from Russia, Turkmenistan, and Bulgaria, focusing on credential attacks. This pattern suggests a widespread, automated campaign rather than a targeted incident. Prioritize monitoring and potential rate-limiting for SSH traffic originating from the ASNs associated with the top-source countries, particularly for non-Nordic assets. Routine Nordic events can be deprioritized as background noise.
