Cybersecurity challenges in the digital era
In today’s rapidly advancing digital landscape, cybersecurity has evolved from an optional safeguard to a critical pillar for protecting businesses against increasingly sophisticated threats. Cyberattacks, amplified by artificial intelligence (AI), are growing not only in frequency but also in complexity, compelling organizations to reassess their defense capabilities.
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, global cybercrime damages reached $9.5 trillion in 2024 and are projected to climb to $10.5 trillion by 2025—an economic impact rivaling the world’s third-largest economy. Alarmingly, a Bobsguide report reveals that 87% of global organizations faced AI-driven cyberattacks in the past year alone.
For multinational enterprises, these challenges are even more pronounced. Distributed technological infrastructure across multiple countries, the pressure to comply with diverse regulatory frameworks, and vulnerabilities within global operational chains heighten the risk of attacks. These factors place businesses in a precarious position, necessitating a comprehensive and urgent cybersecurity strategy to counter increasingly sophisticated threats.
Exclusive report - Empowering proactive cybersecurity
As cyber threats grow more complex, relying on fragmented security solutions or intuition is no longer sufficient to protect enterprises. What organizations need now is a holistic, data-driven perspective that highlights current risks and showcases how peers in the industry are responding.
This is why VNETWORK launched the 2025 Cybersecurity Survey, designed to capture insights from those on the front lines of cybersecurity challenges. The exclusive report generated from this survey is more than just data—it’s a strategic roadmap to help businesses navigate risks and seize opportunities. The report includes:
- Identification of Top Threats: From targeted attacks and AI exploitation to vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure.
- Technology Investment Trends: Guidance on effectively allocating resources for solutions like Security Operations Centers (SOCs), penetration testing, and data protection.
- Challenges and Opportunities: Pinpointing current risks and exploring innovative approaches to strengthen defenses in a dynamic digital environment.
- Practical Defense Strategies: Actionable recommendations to build a robust, multi-layered defense system to mitigate risks before incidents occur.
Curated by VNETWORK’s expert team, the report will be delivered directly to participants’ emails upon survey completion. This invaluable resource empowers businesses to optimize budgets, make informed decisions, and enhance resilience against cyber threats.
Defense in Depth - The key to a robust cybersecurity framework
The 2025 Cybersecurity Survey is built on the Defense in Depth model, a proven strategy embraced by leading enterprises worldwide. Rather than relying on a single layer of protection, this approach establishes multiple, coordinated defense layers to ensure that if one layer is breached, others remain to safeguard the system.
Each layer is designed to detect, delay, and thwart attackers, minimizing risks and enabling rapid recovery. In an era of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, this multi-layered strategy is essential for protecting businesses against multifaceted threats.
The survey is structured around the Defense in Depth framework, with carefully crafted questions tailored to suit businesses of all types, from local to multinational. By participating, organizations can systematically assess their current cybersecurity capabilities and identify areas for improvement.
Who should participate in the survey?
The 2025 Cybersecurity Survey is designed for individuals playing pivotal roles in safeguarding enterprise systems and data. Whether you’re a strategic leader, an operations manager, or a technical expert, your insights are vital to shaping a comprehensive view of the cybersecurity landscape. The survey is ideal for:
