Fortra has published the results from its 2025 State of Cybersecurity survey. The report looks at some surprising shifts in what security leaders see as their biggest threats, and what’s slipping off the radar.
Phishing remains the top concern, but interestingly, zero-day attacks have dropped off the list, with only 38% seeing them as a primary risk (down from 50% last year). At the same time, emerging technology threats—like genAI—jumped 15% year over year, hitting the top five for the first time.
Other trends worth noting:
- Cloud security is no longer a top initiative. Are companies feeling more confident, or are they overlooking evolving risks?
- A major spike in pentesting outsourcing, as companies push compliance-heavy security tasks to third parties.
- Budgets are still the biggest blocker with more than half (59%) saying that funding constraints are their top challenge in executing security strategies.
