Cyber adversaries are moving faster than ever. According to the 2025 Fortinet Global Threat Landscape Report, threat actors are scaling their operations with automation, AI, and Cybercrime-as-a-Service—compressing the time between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation to mere days.

This year’s report reveals:

• A 16.7% surge in automated reconnaissance scans—billions per month
• AI-driven cybercrime tools fueling more believable and scalable attacks
• A 500% increase in stolen credential logs flooding darknet forums
• Exploitation attempts surpassing 97 billion globally in 2024
• Cloud attacks evolving with identity abuse, misconfigurations, and API exploits

The evidence is clear: attackers now operate with unprecedented speed, precision, and reach. Defenders must move beyond reactive detection toward Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) to stay ahead.
