Executive Summary

Global threat volume changed by several orders of magnitude (4,023 → 24,929 events), representing a significant deviation from typical behavior. This surge is primarily driven by spam and attack categories, with the US, Germany, and India as top source countries. Nordic traffic remains stable and within expected baselines, with Sweden (69 events) and Finland (55 events) showing routine, multi-category scanning and brute-force activity consistent with their normal profiles. This indicates a broad, global event rather than a region-specific campaign. Focus defensive actions on the observed global pattern: a massive increase in distributed, multi-vector noise. Consider temporarily tightening rate-limiting rules for connections originating from ASNs associated with the top source countries, particularly for services like SSH. Nordic defenders should maintain existing security postures as local activity shows no deviation from baseline.
