Country Profiles objects provide consolidated, targeted intelligence tailored to your specific geography.

Object Attributes

A Country Profiles object contains the following attributes:

  • collection_type: <string> identifies the type of the object. For Country Profiles the value of this attribute is country-profile.
  • creation_date: <integer> profile object's creation date (UTC timestamp).
  • last_modification_date: <integer> UTC timestamp of the last time the profile was updated (refreshed quarterly).
  • name: <string> profile's name which includes the target country name.
  • analyst_observed_activity: <string> AI-synthesized intelligence based on curated data and proprietary findings from the Global Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) regarding the target country.
  • osint_summary: <string> AI-synthesized summaries of high-relevance Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) regarding the target country.
  • threat_activity_drivers: <string> AI-summarized insights into geopolitical, technological, or economic factors among others, that are currently shaping and motivating threat activity against the target country.
  • origin: <string> identifies the entity responsible for creating the object (Google Threat Intelligence).
  • source_regions_hierarchy: <list of dictionaries> list of countries where threat activity against the target country originated.
    • confidence: <string> level of confidence in the identified source region targeting the profile country.
    • country: <string> country where the threat activity targeting the profile country originated.
    • region: <string> region where the threat activity targeting the profile country originated.
    • sub_region: <string> sub-region where the threat activity targeting the profile country originated.
    • country_iso2: <string> two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country where the threat activity targeting the profile country originated.
    • description: <string> description / additional information related to the threat activity.
    • first_seen: <integer> UTC timestamp of the first recorded threat activity originating from the source country against the target country.
    • last_seen:<integer> UTC timestamp of the last recorded threat activity originating from the source country against the target country.
    • source: <string> information's supplier.
  • targeted_regions: <list of strings> a single-entry list containing the two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country or the name of the region targeted by the threat activity.
  • targeted_industries: <list of strings> list of industries targeted by the threat activity.
  • profile_stats: <dictionary of dictionaries> statistical data used to populate charts representing the current threat landscape for the target country.
    • source_region_heatmap: <dictionary> dictionary containing a data list that maps ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes to the total number of recorded campaigns originating from each.
    • top_targeted_industries: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data list showing the distribution of targeted industries, expressed as a percentage of the total targeted set.
    • top_source_regions: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data list of records representing the top countries of origin for recent threat activity, along with the specific actors and motivations identified for those attacks. Each record consists of four specific data points:
      • The source region of the threat activity
      • The timestamp of the threat activity
      • The threat actor performing the activity
      • Motivation behind the threat activity
    • top_espionage_malware: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data list mapping malware family names to their observation frequency within espionage campaigns targeting the profile country.
    • top_threat_actors_on_campaigns: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data list mapping threat actors to their observation frequency within campaigns targeting the profile country.
    • top_threat_actors_motivations: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data list that provides the frequency of identified threat actor motivations across all campaigns targeting the profile country.
    • top_vulnerabilities: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data list that maps specific vulnerabilities to the frequency of their exploitation in campaigns targeting the profile country.
    • cyber_threat_score: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data object that provides a risk assessment across three threat categories: STATE (state-sponsored), IO/HACK (hacktivism), and FIN (financial). It includes Frequency and Magnitude metrics for each type within the target country.
    • top_malware_by_lookups: <dictionaries> dictionary containing a data list mapping the most frequently searched malware families targeting the profile country to their respective lookup counts.
