By drawing upon the first-hand experience of Arctic Wolf’s security experts, the Arctic Wolf 2025 Threat Report highlights key attack types, uncovers the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that threat actors use most, and helps organisations prevent, detect, and respond to future incidents.
Ransomware Actors Adapt.
With an increase in data exfiltration, tougher negotiation patterns, and a crowded landscape of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) groups, ransomware not only remains a top attack type, but is also adapting to changing cybersecurity defences.
BEC Attacks Follow the Money.
Breaking down business email compromise (BEC) cases by industry has revealed that these fraudsters are targeting verticals where digital transactions and financial communication are more prevalent, increasing their potential payouts.
Patching Prevents Intrusions.
Threat actors continue to exploit the same vulnerabilities to gain access, highlighting how robust vulnerability management can prevent both intrusion incidents and subsequent attacks.

Many organizations will see a continued breakdown
Once the conerstone of a strong cybersecurity posture, the perimeter has undergone unprecedented transformation in recent years — resulting in both a larger attack surface and a plethora of remote access tools that threat actors are eager to exploit.
Arctic Wolf Recommends
Ensure network and endpoint logs are available for examination and correlation. Additionally, utilize network segmentation and a vulnerability management program.
Adversaries will continue to create and leverage opportunities
Social engineering offers a cheap and effective way for threat actors to bypass technological defenses, and new tools — particularly generative AI — make it even easier to execute more effective attacks.
