CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report

In 2025, the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve rapidly, creating major challenges for organizations across all industries and geographies. Due to the resiliency, adaptability and evolving nature of adversaries, organizations are in dire and urgent need to understand the full spectrum of current and possibly future threats.

CrowdStrike's 2025 Global Threat report uncovers key insights, trends, and recommendations across the cyber threat landscape, including:

Adversaries are evolving rapidly and acting like enterprises - they are using innovative tactics, scaling operations and using a business-like approach in their activities.
Malware-free and Identity-based attacks dominate - 79% of attacks in 2024 were malware-free. Instead, adversaries use social engineering, exploitation of valid credentials, and remote tools to evade detection and infiltrate networks.
Generative AI is the adversary's best friend - genAI enhances social engineering, disinformation and phishing, making threats more convincing and harder to detect.

This report includes case studies of specific adversaries, such as Curly Spider and Chatty Spider, and key recommendations to strengthen your organization's defenses.
