The 9th edition of the ENISA Threat Landscape report released by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity highlights the surge in cybercriminality motivated by monetization using ransomware or cryptojacking.

EU Agency for Cybersecurity Executive Director, Juhan Lepassaar stated that "Given the prominence of ransomware, having the right threat intelligence at hand will help the whole cybersecurity community to develop the techniques needed to best prevent and respond to such type of attacks. Such an approach can only rally around the necessity now emphasized by the European Council conclusions to reinforce the fight against cybercrime and ransomware more specifically."

The cybersecurity threat landscape is growing in terms of sophistication of attacks, complexity and impact.

The risk is such that ENISA recently produced a dedicated threat landscape report for this specific category of threat.

Cyber threat actors are an integral component of the threat landscape.

Such threat assessment allows us to prioritise security controls and devise an adequate strategy based on the potential impact and likelihood of threat materialization.
