Executive Summary
Threat volume increased 2.1% to 108,445 events, remaining consistent with the 7-day average. Reconnaissance (101,084) dominates global activity, while Nordic countries show stable patterns: Sweden (713 events) leads with mixed attack types, Finland (419) shows web scanning activity, and Norway (201) remains focused on reconnaissance. The top threat IPs originate from Bulgaria, Russia, and Romania, primarily conducting SSH brute-force attacks. This represents routine background noise rather than a coordinated campaign, with no significant deviation from expected baseline behavior across monitored regions.
Focus on blocking patterns rather than individual IPs: prioritize SSH brute-force clusters from Eastern European ASNs. Consider temporary rate-limiting for SSH traffic from high-risk regions. Nordic networks should maintain current defensive postures as activity aligns with historical patterns. Deprioritize individual IP responses unless accompanied by other IOCs.
