As we enter 2024, we mark a full calendar year of quarterly BlackBerry® Global Threat Intelligence Reports. And what a year it has been. Over the past 12 months, the BlackBerry reports have become a key reference guide for cybersecurity professionals and CISOs worldwide, helping to keep decision makers up to date with the latest cybersecurity threats, trends and challenges affecting the industry. Utilizing both internal telemetry and external resources, BlackBerry aims to provide a comprehensive review of the global cyberthreat landscape within this reporting period.
In this latest issue, the BlackBerry Threat Research and Intelligence team has refined and reformatted the Critical Infrastructure section of the report. This important section now includes the finance, healthcare and government sectors, along with the existing critical infrastructure sectors of utilities and communications. In a new section, we also discuss the threats and challenges faced by commercial enterprises.
To round out the report, we’ll tackle the top malware threats we’ve faced over the reporting period on all prominent operating systems (OS) and include actionable data for both MITRE D3FEND™ and MITRE ATT&CK®.
We’re additionally proud to present a new section from our Incident Response (IR) and Forensics team in our Professional Services division, which discusses threats they’ve encountered in their customer engagements.
This report covers threats encountered in September through December 2023.
