            At Forescout we track and monitor around 600 threat actors. In 2023, they targeted 163 countries. The
            United  States  was  the  most  targeted  by  far,  in  the  second  place  came  the  Unted  Kingdom,  then
            Germany, India and Japan. The vast majority of threat actors originated from China, Russia and Iran.
            Together,  these  three  countries  accounted  for  almost  half  of  threat  actor  groups  in  our  database.
            Government, Financial Services, and Media and Entertainment were the industries most targeted by
            these actors.
