Show Notes

This episode dissects the latest ENISA Threat Landscape, revealing how cybercriminal operations remain potent, fueled by resilient Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) models and highly effective vectors like phishing (60%) and vulnerability exploitation (21.3%). We explore how geopolitical conflicts drive state-aligned cyberespionage, particularly from Russia, China, and DPRK-nexus intrusion sets, alongside high-volume, low-impact hacktivism, primarily targeting Public Administration (38%) and critical infrastructure like Transport.
