In this second installment of a series exploring emerging AI-driven attack surfaces, TrendAI™ Research focuses on employee digital twins: AI replicas of employees that create new vectors for identity compromise, data exfiltration, and persistent access.

Agenda has rapidly grown into one of the most prolific and dangerous ransomware operations, leveraging advanced techniques, cross-platform variants, and alliances with other major threat groups. Its aggressive double-extortion model and expanding victim base across critical industries make it a serious enterprise risk that demands proactive detection and defense.

Drawing on insights from Trend Micro’s global researchers and security experts, this year’s edition of our annual security predictions report highlights the AI-driven shifts set to shape 2026 and beyond.

AI’s rapid growth brings new risks as well as opportunities. Strong security foundations are essential to ensure innovation remains safe, compliant, and resilient.

The Trend 2025 Cyber Risk Report sustains our shift towards proactive security. Protecting enterprises is no longer about stopping breaches but is now about staying ahead, making cybersecurity a business enabler. By looking at the 2025 risk landscape, we recognize exposures and understand attacker behavior to be able to implement countermeasures, transforming security from a challenge to a catalyst for innovation and business growth.

Consumer data will be the hot commodity in the underground for 2025, with cybercrime expected to cost over $10 trillion in this coming year. Criminals will continue to develop new ways to exploit vulnerable areas, increasing enterprise risk as the attack surface expands.

Dans ce rapport, nous détaillons les points focaux du paysage des menaces de l'année prochaine, ainsi que les informations et les mesures d'atténuation recommandées par l'équipe d'experts en cybersécurité de Trend Micro.

Les entreprises et organisations connaissent une période de transition et d'incertitude. Les assaillants resteront furtifs et sauront réutiliser des outils et techniques déjà éprouvés.

Many employees have set up makeshift work spaces in their homes. This could leave them more susceptible to ransomware attacks that take advantage of vulnerabilities in unsecured spaces.
