Resumo:This thesis is a contribution to the attacker taxonomy project developed at Aalborg University as it expands its scope. The objective is to provide a framework that describes the future state of cybersecurity through a structured categorization of reliable sources. The PREACT taxonomy is designed to raise awareness and inform society, businesses and individuals about emerging cyber threats, helping them to take security measures beforehand. By integrating recent research and existing attacker profiles, this work offers a global view of the cybersecurity landscape. The taxonomy is formalized in a tree diagram to improve understanding and accessibility, as its purpose is educational and reflective. This project is builded on previous advancements and aims to be a foundation for future research to understand and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
