The threat landscape, by the numbers

Why “collecting dust” is no longer survivable.

Independent industry data shows the pace and scale of cyber risk accelerating. Quadrum Cyber helps you act on findings while they matter, not after they've been collecting dust.

48% of breaches now involve ransomware — up from 44%
+60% increase in breaches involving a third party
62% of breaches involved the human element
26% of critical (CISA KEV) vulnerabilities fully remediated in 2025
