Abstract:

Members joined CrowdStrike for an exclusive review of the key findings from the 2025 Global Threat Report, and learned the steps needed to defend against cyberattacks.

In this session, the presenters examined the latest adversary themes, trends and events tracked by CrowdStrike’s Counter Adversary Operations team – the industry’s leading threat intelligence and threat hunting experts. Striking findings like these, and what organizations can do to stay ahead of adversaries were discussed:

1. 150% increase in China-nexus activity across all sectors
2. 442% growth in vishing operations between the first and second half of 2024
3. 51 seconds was the fastest recorded eCrime breakout time
4. 79% of detections to gain access were malware-free
5. 26 newly named adversaries in 2024
6. 52% of vulnerabilities observed by CrowdStrike in 2024 were related to initial access

Additionally, we will show you how to identify adversaries targeting your business and outline the steps you can proactively take to better defend against their tools, tactics and tradecraft.
