Almond Releases The Second Edition Of Its Threat Landscape

Almond, a major French independent player in cybersecurity, publishes the second edition of its Threat Landscape.

This 2023-2024 edition reveals an alarming reality: The threat is intensifying and no longer distinguishes between sectors.

While three groups of hackers dominate the DDoS ‘market’, Almond notes a growing trend among cybercriminals towards the professionalisation of their organisations.  Once resembling an SME, they now resemble a hierarchical structure, like large corporations, with substantial human and financial resources,

In a year marked by numerous conflicts, and with several major elections – in Europe and the United States – and the Olympic Games on the horizon, this Threat Landscape offers a wealth of key figures and insights into these topical issues.

The acceleration of attacks is accompanied by unprecedented sophistication, forcing us to rethink the paradigms of cyber defence. In particular, AI is becoming an essential tool in the cybercriminals’ arsenal, as the use of a Large Language Model (LLM), which aggregates millions of pieces of data, makes it possible to design malicious content very simply through automation.

In a nutshell : Almond’s team has analysed the threats that organisations need to prepare for:

  • An update on new attack techniques
  • Energy and telecommunications: infrastructures under threat
  • An overview of geopolitical risks
  • The Paris Olympics, tense elections: the burning challenges of 2024
