For over a decade, the CyberChess Conference has been a cornerstone cybersecurity event in the Baltic region, bringing together a diverse community of experts - including cybersecurity specialists, policymakers, internet and telecommunications providers, industry leaders, and enthusiasts.
In Q2 2025, Latvia’s cyberspace saw a significant increase in cyber threats and vulnerabilities, confirming trends that have been in place for a long time. It is not just the intensity and complexity of attacks that is on the rise: it is also the ability of attackers to adapt, which in turn encourages the development of appropriate tech security solutions.
CERT.LV recently wrapped up an intensive month-long collaboration with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), CERT.EU, and Polish Cyber Command, Latvian National Armed Forces and National Guard Cyber Defense and Electromagnetic Warfare Battalion.
CERT.LV, NIC.LV and ICANN (https://www.icann.org/ ) invite you to a free one-day intensive workshop on DNS security and DNSSEC.
In the first three months of 2025, the cyber threat landscape in Latvia and elsewhere continues to evolve with increasing intensity, complexity and strategic direction. Cyber-operations are no longer just one-off attacks or attempts to profit - they are increasingly targeted, persistent and aligned with wider geopolitical and economic developments.
In Q4 2024, the number of unique IP addresses compromised in Latvia reached an all-time high, indicating a significant increase in the number and intensity of cyber threats. The number of reports logged by CERT.LV has increased by 3% compared to Q3 and by 25% compared to Q4 2023.
