2025 Arctic Wolf Threat Report

This Arctic Wolf® Threat Report draws upon the first-hand experience of Arctic Wolf’s security experts, augmented by Arctic Wolf Labs research into the cybercrime ecosystem and additional credited sources.

By deliberately focusing on cyber attacks that escalated to a level of requiring an incident response (IR) investigation by Arctic Wolf, we aim to:

• Highlight which attack types are responsible for severe incidents
• Uncover the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that allow threat actors to evade detection long enough to pursue actions on objective (e.g., deploying ransomware, tricking organizations into transferring funds, conducting intrusions, etc.)
• Raise awareness of the cybersecurity practices needed to prevent, detect, and recover from such incidents.
