Welcome to SOCRadar’s 2025 Europe Threat Landscape Report’s CEO Brief!

Europe’s digital economy continues to grow, but so does the cybercrime ecosystem exploiting it. SOCRadar’s 2025 Europe Threat Landscape Report’s CEO Brief delivers high-level insights into the most pressing threats facing European businesses, helping executives make informed decisions to safeguard financial stability, brand reputation, and regulatory compliance.

Key Cybersecurity Insights for Business Leaders

  • Finance, Insurance, and Retail Sectors Under Fire: Together, finance-related industries account for 22.8% of dark web activity, while retail and e-commerce make up 19.5%, making payment systems, customer data, and loyalty accounts prime targets.

  • Ransomware Threats Disrupt Core Economies: The UK (22.94%), Germany (16.47%), and France (10.10%) account for nearly half of all ransomware attacks, threatening business continuity across Europe’s largest markets.

  • Phishing Expands Across Borders: Information Services (19.77%) and National Security (13.31%) are top targets, while phishing activity is especially high in Bulgaria (24.26%) and the Russian Federation (21.06%), showing both financial and espionage motives.

  • Dark Web Exposure Increasing: Leaked credentials, stolen payment data, and unauthorized access to European institutions and businesses highlight the region’s growing underground risks.
