Thales and Verint released The Cyberthreat Handbook after analyzing about 60 attacker groups and 490 campaigns worldwide. The press release says nearly half of the profiled groups were state sponsored, with cybercriminal, hacktivist, and cyberterrorist groups making up the remainder. It identifies the United States, Russia, the European Union, China, India, South Korea, and Japan as top target countries, and lists government, defense, finance, energy, transportation, media, and healthcare among the most targeted sectors. The release also notes increased attention to supply chain access, where smaller partners and service providers can become entry points into larger targets.
