The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the CERT of the EU institutions, bodies and agencies (CERT-EU) jointly published a report to alert on sustained activity by particular threat actors. The malicious cyber activities of the presented threat actors pose a significant and ongoing threat to the European Union.
Recent operations pursued by these actors focused mainly on information theft, primarily via establishing persistent footholds within the network infrastructure of organisations of strategic relevance.
Decision makers and cybersecurity officers are the primary audiences of this joint publication.
ENISA and CERT-EU strongly encourage all public and private sector organisations in the EU to apply the recommendations listed in the current joint publication “Sustained Activity by specific Threat Actors.”
By applying these recommendations in a consistent and systematic manner, ENISA and CERT-EU remain confident that organisations will reduce the risk of being compromised by the mentioned Advanced Persistent Threats, APTs, as well as substantially improve their cybersecurity posture and enhance the overall resilience against cyberattacks.
