You’d be right in thinking that the cyber security threat landscape changed dramatically in 2024. Some financially motivated threat actors gained notoriety while others had their operations closed by national crime agencies working across borders. Nation-state-backed groups increased their operations in parallel with ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, and cyber espionage surged in most regions worldwide.

In the first six months of 2025, the threat landscape has already evolved again. Quorum Cyber’s Threat Intelligence team identified and tracked over 70 new threat groups and malware-as-a-service (MaaS) offerings between January to June. During this six-month period, Quorum Cyber’s Threat Intelligence team observed a marked rise in the sophistication and innovation of certain threat actors, including some bold new tactics not previously seen.

Join Quorum Cyber’s Chief Threat Officer Paul Caiazzo, Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst Jack Alexander, and Incident Response Consultant Emily Benbow, for a virtual 60-minute session inclusive of Q&A at 4pm BST / 11am EST on 20th August 2025 as they share intelligence about the increasing ransomware trends over the past four years. The virtual session, called Relentless Threats: 2025 Mid-Year Intelligence Briefing, will outline the tactics and techniques identified so far this year to equip you with up-to-date threat intelligence to strengthen your cyber security posture.

The experts will also share their strategic and actionable advice to help you protect your organisation from the ever-evolving threat landscape. They will explain how RansomBay’s white-label service is enabling relatively low-skilled attackers to create their own brands, and reveal how Qilin has announced an audacious new legal and customer harassment extortion tactic to put victims under even more pressure to pay ransoms.

The continued emergence of new groups and services highlights the ever-evolving threat landscape and the persistent need for defenders to stay up to date with the latest attack vectors.
