Elastic Security Labs' 2025 Global Threat Report synthesizes real-world telemetry to show accelerating AI-enabled threat innovation, a rise in Windows execution techniques, concentrated cloud attack goals (initial access, persistence, credential access), and the industrialization of browser credential theft via trojanized software and infostealers; it highlights notable malware families and campaigns (e.g., BANSHEE, EDDIESTEALER, ARECHCLIENT2, REF7707) and urges enterprises to strengthen defenses against these evolving risks.
