Key Findings
The cybersecurity landscape in 2025 is defined by AI-powered threats, escalating ransomware attacks, and mounting enterprise pressure. Global cybercrime costs have reached $10.5 trillion annually, with projections hitting $15.6 trillion by 2029.
Ransomware remains the dominant threat, cited as the top risk by nearly half of all organizations. The commoditization of attacks through Ransomware-as-a-Service has lowered barriers for threat actors, while AI tools have accelerated phishing sophistication and deepfake fraud.
