The Threat Landscape in 2025

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. In 2025, organisations face a dual challenge: defending against increasingly sophisticated attacks while adapting to new technologies that introduce fresh vulnerabilities. From AI-powered exploits to supply chain breaches, the battleground has shifted from the network perimeter to identity, cloud, and trust itself.

Main Threats Businesses Must Address

• Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS): Criminal groups now offer ransomware kits with support and updates, making attacks more accessible and frequent.
• AI-Driven Attacks: Threat actors use AI to automate phishing, reconnaissance, and malware adaptation. Deepfakes and synthetic speech are now common in social engineering.
• Identity & Cloud Compromise: Stolen credentials remain the top attack vector. Cloud misconfigurations and weak access controls are exploited at scale.
• Supply Chain Attacks: Adversaries target trusted software and service providers to infiltrate downstream systems.
• Zero-Day Exploits & “Living off the Land”: Attackers increasingly use native tools and unknown vulnerabilities to evade detection.

Emerging Threats to Watch

• Autonomous Multistage Attacks: AI agents capable of planning and executing complex intrusions without human oversight.
• Prompt Injection & Model Poisoning: Generative AI systems are vulnerable to manipulation and corrupted training data.
• Infostealers: Malware designed to extract credentials and sensitive data from infected machines is surging.
• Nation-State Threats: State-sponsored actors are targeting critical infrastructure and defence sectors with increasing frequency.
