Every vendor publishes a Threat Report. We publish a Protect Report—because our job isn’t to catalogue what went wrong, it’s to help you prevent it.

Every year, we expect to find something new. A novel attack. A new technique. Something that surprises us. What we find, year after year, is the same thing.
The reality of modern cyber defence is that hackers don’t pick targets individually—automated bots generate over 36,000 vulnerability scans per second, probing every public website for simple flaws.
SMBs are not failing because they lack security tools. The tools are already there. The challenge is operational discipline and consistent enforcement of the basics.
We analysed thousands of breach investigations to identify the recurring failures that lead to disaster. Which one is currently hiding in your environment?
85% of actionable security alerts in 2025 came from credential and identity compromise. Most breaches don't start advanced—they start with an unguarded door.
88% of SMB breaches involve ransomware. 80% of IT leaders claim they'd catch a breach in 8 hours, while the actual average dwell time is 181 days.
48% of breaches start with compromised VPN credentials. In the fastest observed cases, full network propagation occurred in just 18 minutes.
44% of all security alerts go uninvestigated due to noise volume. The signals were always in the logs, but nobody was watching when it counted.
The average SMB breach cost has reached $4.91M. Yet, organisations with comprehensive IR plans save $1.23M on average per incident.
VPN CVEs grew by 82.5% in 2025. Attackers aren't breaking through firewalls anymore; they're logging in. Identity is the new perimeter.
90% of organisations lack AI maturity. Tools don't create outcomes—execution does. Don't let AI overcompensate for missing fundamentals.
