Veeam’s latest report, From Risk to Resilience: 2025 Ransomware Trends and Proactive Strategies, reveals alarming insights into the evolving ransomware threat landscape. Surveying 1,300 IT and security leaders, the report highlights:

  • 69% of organizations experienced a ransomware attack in the past year.
  • 10% of organizations recovered more than 90% of their data post-attack.
  • 57% recovered less than 50% of their data.

Key trends include:

  • Data Exfiltration Attacks: Cybercriminals increasingly steal sensitive information without encrypting systems.
  • Decreasing Ransom Payments: More organizations are opting not to pay ransoms, emphasizing the importance of robust recovery strategies.
  • Law Enforcement Impact: Coordinated efforts have disrupted major ransomware groups, but smaller and independent attackers are on the rise.
  • Collaboration is Crucial: Enhanced communication between IT and security teams, along with partnerships with law enforcement, strengthens defenses.

The report underscores the importance of shifting from reactive security measures to proactive data resilience strategies. Organizations that prioritize data resilience can recover from attacks up to seven times faster and experience significantly lower data loss rates.

Immutable and air gapped backups are the ONLY way.
