March 24th marked the beginning of the fourth Threat Hunt Workshop led by Canadian and Latvian cyber specialists bringing 37 participants from 14 countries to Riga, Latvia to equip them with the skills to act proactively and detect threats before they materialize.
The level of cyber threats in Latvia remains high, with a steady upward trend. Attacks are both financially and politically motivated, and geopolitical factors continue to serve as a significant catalyst for threats.
On January 1, 2026 CERT.LV launched two important cybersecurity projects. The projects are aimed at strengthening cooperation and digital security capacity both nationally and in the broader Nordic-Baltic region.
In the third quarter of 2025, 671 cyber incidents were recorded, which is 5% less than in the second quarter of this year, but 2% more than in the third quarter of last year, and overall, an upward trajectory can be observed.
Earlier this November, Canadian and Latvian cyber experts led a four-day Threat Hunting Workshop in Riga, helping NATO allies become proactive defenders, capable of identifying threats before they occur
From November 21 to 23, the digital adventure returns — Mārtiņa-CTF 2025 invites participants from all over Latvia and beyond to 48 hours of intense cybersecurity challenges. This will be the third edition of Mārtiņa-CTF — a “trilogy” promising even more challenges, creativity, and surprises.
