Are you equipped for today's cyber threats?

With the best technologies, the most widespread information distribution, and the greatest public awareness of threats all in motion, the security environment is stronger than ever.

Yet, almost in spite of these things, threat ecosystems are thriving like never before. Truthfully, the threat landscape is dynamic and reactive — a new technique empowers a previously unknown threat group, vendors swarm to mitigate that threat and create new technologies in the process, operators on both sides seek out new techniques or tools, and so it goes.

This landscape is shaped daily by the efforts of attackers and defenders alike. The intention with Elastic's Global Threat Report is the same as it’s been over the past couple years; to democratise knowledge, uphold transparent principles, and identify impacts. 

From in-depth looks at telemetry trends to threat forecasts for the coming year, security teams can gain many different insights, including:

• Defenders' overreliance on built-in security tools.
• How adversaries are abusing offensive security tools.
• The rise in Credential Abuse techniques across Windows and Linux.
