M-TRENDS-2023 Mandiant Special Report
The lines separating the real world and the cyber realm have never been hazier. We’re seeing Russia engage in information operations in an attempt to influence the narrative surrounding their invasion of Ukraine, and attempt to disrupt critical infrastructure through both physical and cyber attacks. We’re seeing the invasion have an influence on the broader cybercrime ecosystem, notably in Europe, where actors are choosing sides or shutting down operations altogether. And we’re seeing actors engage in cybercrime to fund espionage to support the North Korean regime, targeting information on topics ranging from nuclear to COVID-19.
Every day Mandiant responders are investigating and analyzing the latest attacks and threats, and understanding how best to respond to and mitigate them. We pass these learnings on to our customers through our various services, helping them to stay ahead of a constantly evolving threat landscape.
In releasing our annual M-Trends report, we aim to provide some of that same critical intelligence to the greater security community. M-Trends 2023 continues our tradition of offering details on the evolving cyber landscape, mitigation recommendations, and a wide variety of security incident-related metrics.
