Ransomware threats reshaping global cybersecurity
We have released a new report outlining ransomware trends that shaped 2025. The report also provides insights into how the ransomware threat landscape may evolve. According to our Security Network, Latin America recorded the highest share of organisations affected by ransomware attacks at 8.13%. The Asia-Pacific region followed at 7.89%, while Africa stood at 7.62%. In addition, the Middle East recorded 7.27%, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) reached 5.91%, and Europe reported 3.82%.
The invisible workforce – rising machine identity risk
Most people understand what it means to protect a human identity. The dangers of someone impersonating you online or stealing and cloning your card are immediately obvious. Today, organisations rely on thousands of non-human identities. These identities belong to software applications, cloud workloads, APIs, bots and now AI agents.
Using AI to protect data from cybercriminals is crucial
The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly changing, with hackers increasingly utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) to carry out sophisticated attacks on their targets. To defend against these AI-driven threats, organisations must adopt data protection solutions that harness AI, essentially “fighting fire with fire”. This is the foundation of using AI to protect data from cybercriminals.
Continuous ASM – scalable digital security resilience
Every organisation today operates in a complex, interconnected digital environment that extends far beyond its traditional perimeter. Cloud workloads, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, remote devices and third-party integrations create countless entry points for attackers. While most businesses focus on securing the “front door”, the real risk often lies in forgotten side doors, service hatches and unguarded windows that make up the modern attack surface
PCI DSS compliance is a business essential, not an IT task
