The Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on the Evolution of Cybercrime

Recent geopolitical climate has played an important role in how adversaries are targeting their victims. As geopolitical tensions rise, so do threats from state-sponsored adversaries.

Battle lines have been redrawn and state-sponsored threat actors are adapting new tradecraft and targets to respond to global trends. As a security leader, you must be vigilant about the changing threat landscape and now also the evolving geopolitical landscape.
