AI systems were ground zero for cyber risk in the second half of 2025: Critical flaws were on the rise and adversaries targeted every layer of the AI stack. As underlying weaknesses across the ecosystem continue to widen, organizations must adopt a vigilant, AI-first approach to defense.

Today’s botnet operations, enabled by automation and shared resources, are outpacing traditional response and patching models. This highlights the growing importance of security capabilities that can match the speed and scale of these attacks.

Trend Micro’s State of AI Security report explores how AI’s rapid adoption is transforming both business efficiency and cybercrime methods, highlighting novel threats and strategic defenses to help organizations adapt in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Email-based cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, with attackers increasingly using tactics like QR code phishing, known malware variants, and AI-powered impersonation to bypass traditional defenses and target users, data, and systems.

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.

As cybercriminals shift their attacks with new technologies and strategies, maintaining visibility across the attack surface becomes increasingly challenging.

With the goal of creating fast, evasive, and sophisticated threats and campaigns, malicious actors are always on the prowl for new technologies to abuse, significant world events to exploit, and mismanaged and vulnerable assets to compromise.

This report looks into the notable email threats of 2023, including the 45,261,542 high-risk email threats we detected and blocked using the Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security solution, also referred to as Trend Vision One™ — Email and Collaboration Protection solution, which is part of the Trend Vision One Email and Collaboration Security suite.

Our continuous surveillance and research of the threat landscape in 2023 showed patterns suggesting that as cybercriminals take advantage of the expanding attack surface, they are also learning to prioritize substance over size.
