Digital Forensics and Incident Response

Introduction

Using data from a sample of over 100 serious incidents we responded to in 2023, this report highlights insights into incident trends in 2023 including an in-depth look into the most common incident categories – Cyber Extortion and Business Email Compromises.

CyberCX’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response team is the largest in both Australia and New Zealand (AUNZ). Our cases represent an important sample of the threat trends and attacker tradecraft impacting organisations across our region.

We are publishing this data as part of CyberCX’s mission to secure the communities we live and work in. We hope that organisations across our region will use it to gain insights and perspectives on the threat landscape as they consider their controls and strategies for 2024.
