Abstract
Using data from the FireHol Project, this study explores the complex landscape of cyber threats to uncover critical insights into their evolution, internet service provider (ISP) characteristics, industry-specific targets, and geographical correlations. The analysis of ISPs provides a nuanced understanding of their roles in cyber threat scenarios, enabling enhanced risk mitigation strategies. Industry-specific insights illuminate sectors frequently under siege by malicious activities, aiding organizations in crafting tailored defense strategies. Geographic correlations shed light on the connection between IP location and the likelihood of malicious activities, fostering regional threat awareness and international cooperation. By comprehensively addressing these dimensions of cyber threats, this study not only advances the understanding of evolving cybersecurity challenges but also equips stakeholders with actionable knowledge to fortify their defenses in an interconnected digital world. Its implications span cybersecurity practices, policymaking, public awareness, and international collaboration, contributing to the ongoing effort to safeguard the digital realm from malicious actors.
