Geopolitical and ideological conflicts continue to be strong drivers of cyber attacks. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the level of cyber threats in Latvia has increased significantly.
In collaboration with the Cybersecurity Incident Response Institution – CERT.LV, the Latvian Ministry of Defence, and the Canadian Armed Forces Cyber Forces (CAF), a specialized training course has been developed to advance threat-hunting capabilities. This course integrates international expertise to provide a robust foundation for effective threat detection.
In Q1 2024, the number of threats and incidents reduced only by 3% compared to the same period in 2023. In addition, it was 5% higher than in the last three quarters of previous year. Latvia has demonstrated a convincing cyber- resilience, and cyber-attacks recorded so far have not had a significant or lasting impact on society.
More than 50 speakers from 20 countries will share their experience on the protection of critical infrastructure, cyber threat intelligence, ransomware, nanotechnology, bio-hacking, AI, machine learning, and more.
This report contains generally available information about CERT.LV activities and operating results, excluding restricted-access information. This report is for information only.
CERT.LV has just concluded a month-long surge in collaboration with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), and the Latvian National Armed Forces (LNAF) to augment and further strengthen the ongoing threat hunt operations aimed at defending the networks, systems and digital services of significant importance to Latvia.
