Executive Summary

Global threat volume shows a significant deviation, dropping by 90.6% compared to the previous period to 1,937 events. This sharp decline is atypical and moves well below the 7-day average, suggesting a potential lull in automated campaigns or infrastructure shifts. Nordic activity remains minimal and routine, with Sweden (7 events) and others showing low, stable counts consistent with background noise. The top threat categories—attacks, malware C2, and brute force—persist, with concentrated SSH brute force attempts from a small cluster of IPs in Bulgaria, Russia, and India. Focus on the SSH brute force pattern from ASNs in Eastern Europe and Asia, as these represent persistent infrastructure rather than ephemeral IPs. Consider temporary blocking or rate-limiting for these source networks. Deprioritize the low-volume Nordic events, which are consistent with routine scanning activity.
