Thales Cyber Threat Handbook

In an ultra-connected world, there is a huge increase in cybercriminal organizations and cyber attacks. Indeed, the health crisis has generated the appearance of new vectors of cyber threats: the increased use of telecommuting, the increase in remote exchanges and the digitalization of most business sectors. The consequences are unprecedented: a 30% increase in attacks has been observed between 2020 and 2021 in Europe. Thus, we observe a constant trend of increasing sophistication of cyberattackers and a professionalization of modus operandi at work, driven by greed and international tensions.
