Another year of CERT Polska’s activities is behind us. An absolutely record-breaking year, if we take into account practically all the statistics cited in our previous reports. Behind these numbers is the daily work of experts who care for the safety of Poles online every day. This year’s report is about this work, the key challenges we face and the threats we analyse.
We describe, for example, our tools such as Artemis and Snitch, which allow us to respond effectively to threats and work for cybersecurity. Most of them are available as open-source projects. We believe that this way we can build a foundation for the development of security beyond our constituency.
In order to develop tools, we need to know in which areas they are still needed. That is why a large part of our everyday work is analysing the activities of cybercriminals. A summary of these observations can be found in the section on incidents and threats.
We want the report to have its permanent elements – those that allow us to follow trends and tendencies, and at the same time, to always include references to current events and changes. In this year’s edition, we devote a lot of space to fraud that originates on social media platforms, but we also describe changes that increase user security. Blocking of text messages from cybercriminals based on patterns created by CERT Polska is undoubtedly one of them.
In the report we also talk about our partnerships, including international ones, with cybersecurity teams that have resulted in projects, exercises and workshops. We talk about educational and awareness-raising activities, including the launch of a new reporting channel through the mObywatel app. Information on this and other topics can be found in the chapter summarising the activities of CERT Polska. Knowledge of cybersecurity, awareness of threats and methods of combating them are the most effective weapons in the fight against cybercriminals. With this in mind we present you with the latest CERT Polska report.
