The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (First) predicts that disclosed common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) will exceed 45,000 by 2025, reflecting a significant uptick in cybersecurity threats. This is driven by factors such as changing technology practices, new disclosure policies, and increased geopolitical tensions. The surge is attributed to the rapid adoption of open-source software, AI tools for vulnerability discovery, and new contributors in the CVE ecosystem. Security teams must transition from reactive to proactive threat management to tackle this growing complexity effectively.
In 2025, the volume of disclosed common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) is projected to reach at least 45,000, marking a significant increase in cybersecurity concerns.
Security teams can no longer afford to be reactive; they must anticipate and prioritise threats before they escalate as reported vulnerabilities are now accelerating.
