Executive Summary
Global threat volume decreased by 64.1% compared to the previous period, representing a significant deviation from the elevated baseline. This sharp drop is unusual following high activity and may indicate a shift in attacker infrastructure or a temporary lull. Reconnaissance remains the dominant category. Nordic traffic is stable and consistent with routine background noise; Sweden (673 events) shows the highest volume but aligns with its 7-day average. A cluster of SSH brute force attacks originating from a Polish IP range (87.251.64.144/29) is the most notable campaign. This activity is not new but has been intermittently active for several weeks. Given the coordinated nature of the SSH brute force cluster from the Polish ASN, consider implementing temporary blocking or rate-limiting for the 87.251.64.144/29 CIDR range. No other patterns require immediate action, as Nordic activity remains within expected parameters. Prioritize monitoring for a potential rebound in global scanning activity.
