Executive Summary

Global threat volume decreased significantly by 79.5% compared to the previous period, representing a major deviation from the high baseline. This sharp decline is atypical and suggests a potential shift in attacker operational tempo or infrastructure. Nordic activity remains at routine, low baselines (FI:5, NO:5, SE:3), consistent with historical patterns. SSH brute force and general attacks dominate the global landscape, with primary sourcing from the US, India, and Germany as per usual distribution. Focus remains on persistent network access attacks rather than new campaigns. Defender actions should prioritize monitoring the SSH brute force clusters from ASNs in Turkmenistan (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/91.202.233.0" target="_blank">91.202.233.0</a>/24) and Bulgaria (<a href="https://ip.wayscloud.services/ip-intelligence/195.178.110.0" target="_blank">195.178.110.0</a>/24), which represent the most consistent threat pattern. Consider temporary blocking or rate-limiting these CIDR ranges. The overall decrease in volume allows for deprioritizing broad reactive measures and focusing on hardening SSH access controls.
