Predicting the Next Cyber Attack - Level 3

Do you know where the next cyber attack will strike or when it's likely to happen? Using machine learning techniques and data analysis, it's now possible to forecast cyber attacks with a decent degree of accuracy. Mind you, we can't pinpoint the exact time of an attack, but like weather forecasters, we can review the available data, look for digital fingerprints and behavior patterns and assess whether a specific target is in the crosshairs of cybercriminals. Like sharks circling prey, attackers exhibit certain behaviors and characteristics when they're planning to strike, and we're getting better at detecting the early stages of their kill chain. In some recent cases, Level 3 Threat Research Labs identified behavior signaling an imminent attack and notified the targets.
