The 2025 Threat Landscape: Adaptability and Opportunism
Every year, Arctic Wolf Labs, our group of elite security researchers, data scientists, and security development engineers, analyze what they saw over the past 12 months and make predictions on what the next year will bring in terms of threat actor tactics and trends. Where 2024 saw a doubling down of successful attacks – namely ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS), and state-sponsored attacks – 2025 will see these threat actors innovating on what they know works.
While you’ll need to download our full report to get the complete details of our predictions, we’ll leave you with a little preview.
Prediction #1:
Many organizations will see a continued breakdown of their perimeter defense as threat actors target VPN gateways and other edge devices and services.
Prediction #2:
Adversaries will continue to create and leverage opportunities for large-scale social engineering campaigns, while incorporating new TTPs.
