ReliaQuest Annual Cyber-Threat Report: 2023
Between February 1, 2022, and February 1, 2023, the ReliaQuest Threat Research Team identified trends across several data sources and analyzed cyber-threat trends and observations. During a reporting period that saw Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a continued risk of ransomware attacks and data extortion, and an avalanche of high-risk vulnerabilities, we identified key events and patterns.
