The State of Global Cyber Security 2025 Report

[PhoneBoy]

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
