We've just published our annual State of Global Cyber Security report for 2025, where you can find the following:

The critical cyber security trends in 2025, including a 44% increase in attacks against organizations and a 58% rise in infostealer attacks
The evolution of ransomware and its shift toward data exfiltration over encryption.
The actionable intelligence you need to equip your organization with insights from the report to strengthen your cyber security posture against emerging threats.
The unique challenges faced by healthcare, education, gov’t, and semiconductors where attacks are increasing on these sectors by 40-179% YOY.
How attacks and defenses will evolve so you can prepare for the year ahead.

Here are a few nuggets I found interesting when reading the full report:

1 of every 25 exploitations in 2024 leveraged a vulnerability disclosed in 2024
AI is an accelerator to Disinformation and Influence campaigns, affecting election campaigns and public opinion
58% increase in Infostealer infection attempts YoY, with emphasis on stealing tokens and VPN credentials from BYOD devices
Education is the most targeted vertical for 5 consecutive years, with a 75% increase YoY. Cyber criminals seek targets that are typically less secured.
Nation-states are conducting more chronic attacks, rather than acute ones
