🗺 7 Free Threat Maps CISOs Should Bookmark Today 🗺

Seeing cyber attacks unfold in real time changes how you think about defense. Threat maps give CISOs a powerful visual overview of attack activity worldwide – helping teams stay alert, informed, and prepared. Best part? These tools are free.

Here are 7 threat maps worth bookmarking:

1️⃣ Kaspersky Cyberthreat Real-Time Map – Global visualization of malware and phishing.
https://cybermap.kaspersky.com/

2️⃣ FireEye (Trellix) Threat Map – Tracks malicious traffic across regions.
https://threatmap.trellix.com/

3️⃣ Check Point Threat Map – Attack origins and targets updated live.
https://threatmap.checkpoint.com/

4️⃣ Fortinet Threat Map – High-volume global attack telemetry.
https://threatmap.fortiguard.com/

5️⃣ DDoS Attack Map by NETSCOUT – Real-time global DDoS tracking.

🌍 These maps won’t replace intel platforms, but they’re powerful for awareness, briefings, and stakeholder communication.

At AUMINT.io, we help CISOs go beyond watching attacks – by simulating how attackers target employees directly with phishing, vishing, and deepfake tactics.
