Back to the future: 2022 Tales of Arctic Wolf's Global SOC & AW Labs Threat Research findings for 2023

2022 was a year of turbulence within the threat actor community as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine disrupted the operations of top ransomware groups, a lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) drove business email compromise attacks, and the long-tail of Log4Shell and ProxyShell continues to be exploited en masse more than a year after their initial disclosure.

Created with empirical global threat, malware, digital forensics, and incident response case data from Arctic Wolf's global Security Operations Cloud, along with a recent Arctic Wolf survey of 700 CISOs & IT Leaders in the UK, Europe and North America, this session explores Arctic Wolf’s deep and differentiated view into the cybercrime ecosystem, highlights key threat trends and research from 2022, and makes insightful predictions and strategic cybersecurity recommendations for the year ahead.
