2025 Threat Roundup: What 900M Attacks Reveal About Cyber Risk

As organizations enter 2026 facing unprecedented cyber risk, Forescout Research – Vedere Labs analyzed more than 900 million attacks across 2025 to reveal major shifts in attacker behavior, exploited vulnerabilities, and emerging threat vectors.

Drawing on insights from specialized IT/OT/IoT honeypots, unique malware analysis, and intelligence on nearly 900 threat actors, this session breaks down how attacks are becoming more globally distributed, why cloud and benign infrastructure are increasingly abused, and which vulnerabilities, services, and protocols adversaries are prioritizing, across both IT and OT environments.

Featured Speakers:

What you’ll learn:

• How post‑exploitation activity is shifting, with discovery‑focused TTPs increasingly dominating
• Where attackers are concentrating efforts, from exploited CVEs outside KEV catalogs to fast‑growing OT protocols, sectors, and malware families
• The highest‑impact defensive actions to strengthen visibility, segmentation, and detection across IT, OT, and IoT environments
