Features of cyberattack forecasting based on data analysis

An analytical review of modern cyberattacks based on an analysis of the Global Cybersecurity Threats open statistical dataset for the period 2015–2024. The main sources of cyberattacks, target industries, types of threats, and protective measures used are considered. Particular attention is paid to identifying consistent patterns in the distribution of attacks, as well as analyzing the relationships between threat sources, industry affiliation of organizations, and information security measures used. Empirical data shows that cyber threats are multifactorial and persistent in nature, while the absence of a dominant type of attack or source under-scores the complexity of predicting and attributing them. The results obtained can be used to improve the effectiveness of information security systems and develop analytically sound measures to counter cyber threats.
