A global cyber security arms race is under way, according to the authoritative 2025 Arctic Wolf Threat Report, which pairs insights with research from Arctic Wolf's threat intelligence team and including threat researchers, incident responders, digital forensics experts and professional ransomware negotiators.

To paint a clear picture of the threats organisations will face this year, Arctic Wolf will host a webinar in partnership with ITWeb to outline the changing cyber attack actors and methodologies, particularly, the evolution of ransomware and business e-mail compromise.

At this event for security and risk professionals, Arctic Wolf Regional Sales Director Jason Oehley and Senior Systems Engineer Andre den Hond will deep dive into key trends and risks this year, such as the lower barrier to entry creating a crowded cyber crime landscape, which organisations ransomware attackers are targeting most, and how social engineering has evolved to increase the success of BEC attacks. Discover where the greatest exposures to risk lie and how cyber espionage is gaining ground.

Following last year’s highly successful Arctic Wolf quarterly briefings series, this update is designed to keep security and risk decision-makers abreast of emerging risk and best practice mitigation.
