H1 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Threat Report

The first half of 2025 brought some of the most significant cybersecurity shifts we’ve seen in years.

Attackers are fundamentally changing their targeting methods by abandoning old playbooks and adopting strategies that are both more effective and harder to detect.

It's no longer just about preventing a breach. It's about understanding a new type of adversary who prefers to walk in the front door rather than break a window.

Our new H1 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Report unpacks this trend using data from thousands of real incidents for analysis.

Here’s a glimpse of what you'll learn:

• A New #1 Target: Banking and Finance is now the most targeted industry for the first time, and we explain why.
• The End of an Era for Phishing: The top initial access technique is no longer phishing. Threat actors now use Valid Accounts, simply logging in with stolen credentials.
• The Attacker's Schedule: We saw a massive concentration of activity between 1400 and 1700 UTC, with 1500 UTC being the single most dangerous hour.
• A Consolidation of Power: Just five ransomware groups — Clop, Akira, Qilin, RansomHub, and Play — caused over 43% of all tracked incidents.

What do these changes mean for your security strategy? As we head into Q3 2025, this report helps you adjust your defenses, focus your resources, and engage in informed discussions with your team and leadership.
