CrowdStrike's 2025 Global Threat Report highlights an alarming rise in cyber threats utilizing legitimate tools and originating from new geographical regions. The report indicates a significant 150% increase in Chinese cyber activity, characterized by advanced attack techniques. Additionally, new players like Kazakhstani actors have emerged, diversifying the threat landscape. Adam Meyers from CrowdStrike advocates for an offensive approach to counter these evolving threats, emphasizing the need for organizations to adapt to increasingly sophisticated and elusive attack methods, including a notable shift towards malware-less attacks requiring direct user engagement.
"This year saw the addition of many pandas, i.e. cyber threats emerging from China. CrowdStrike measured a 150 percent increase in Chinese activity, reaching up to 300 percent in certain sectors."
"The cyber animal kingdom has also grown more diverse, reflecting the variety of origins of threats. Consider Kazakhstani actors, identified in CrowdStrike reporting as saiga antelopes."
