Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report noted a 37% increase in ransomware attacks and a 34% increase in exploited vulnerabilities.

Exploited vulnerabilities have turned up in Ivanti products 16 times since 2024. That’s more than any other vendor in the network edge device space.

The most consequential cyberattacks observed by Darktrace last year were linked to software defects in firewalls and perimeter network technologies.

The ongoing operation claims international organizations and the defense industry as its victims, per authorities.
