Overview

2025 incidents in numbers: Key facts and figures from S-RM’s global incident response activity across the US, UK, EMEA and APAC.

A fragmenting threat landscape: Ransomware remains the dominant threat, but the ecosystem behind it is becoming increasingly fragmented. The report examines why this fragmentation is accelerating and the unique risks posed by newer, less predictable actors.

Asia in focus: Threat groups are expanding into Asia at an unprecedented pace. We analyse why the region has become an increasingly attractive target and the emerging groups now operating there.

The impact of AI: AI is not only enabling threat actors – it is a growing source of organisational risk. The report explores how attackers are using AI today and where businesses are unintentionally increasing their exposure through rapid AI adoption.

Communications and stakeholder management: From manipulating media to polishing interactions through AI, threat actor communication is growing more sophisticated. We examine how organisations must be ready with their own clear communications strategy to stay ahead.

Trends to watch in 2026: From technical and data risks to reputational and regulatory exposure - what are the key considerations for businesses and their leadership teams in 2026 and beyond?
