Top 5 Data Points from The State of Cybersecurity: 2025 Trends


01

70% of security leaders polled report that their organization experienced at least one “significant cyber attack” in 2024.

Arctic Wolf Insights
Budgets, reliance on legacy systems, and the rise of AI make cyber incidents a perennial, if not rising, threat for organizations big and small.
02

88% of organizations have purchased an active incident response (IR) retainer – and 81% of organizations have used their retainer one or more times in the last 12 months.
