Why does your industry matter?
Attackers do not pick targets at random. Knowing who works your sector turns general security news into news about you.
- 01
Groups specialise
Many threat groups return to the same sectors again and again, because they know the software, the suppliers and where the valuable data sits.
- 02
Names make news useful
Once you know which groups target your sector, a headline about one of them becomes a prompt to check your own systems.

Then check your own exposure
With a free account, see which groups and ransomware gangs are hitting your sector, and which flaws in your own software matter most.
By the number of groups linked to each sector in public reporting, the most targeted are defence and military (100 groups), government and public sector (94 groups) and charities and NGOs (28 groups). A group can be linked to more than one industry.
Each industry is split into narrower sectors, such as cryptocurrency within financial services or the defence industrial base within defence and military. A sub-sector with groups of its own has a page listing them.
From public reporting about each threat group: published security research and official advisories that name the sectors a group has attacked. Every group profile links to its sources.
