New Annual Report from GuidePoint’s Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT) Reveals a 40% YoY increase in Active Threat Groups as Cybercrime Ecosystem Evolves

HERNDON, Va.: #cybersecurity--GuidePoint Security, a cybersecurity solutions leader enabling organizations to make smarter decisions and minimize risk, announced today the release of the GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team’s (GRIT) annual Ransomware & Cyber Threat Report.

The GRIT 2025 Ransomware & Cyber Threat Report provides exclusive in-depth research, insights and analysis on the evolving ransomware ecosystem, exploring who cybercriminals are targeting (and why), the top tactics threat actors are using and what the future may hold for emerging ransomware groups in 2025.

“The GRIT 2025 Ransomware & Cyber Threat Report reveals the resilience and persistence of the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model, highlighting the difficulty of disrupting it,” said Jason Baker, Lead Threat Analyst at GuidePoint Security. “From major law enforcement disruptions to group shakeups and new behavior patterns, 2024 was at times a chaotic year for threat actors—yet ransomware activity and new groups continue to proliferate. Well-resourced defenders, active vulnerability management, attack surface awareness and actionable intelligence remain critical to mitigating information security risks in 2025.”

Noteworthy findings from this year’s report include:

“Throughout the year, we also witnessed multiple instances of significant international law enforcement operations that dealt heavy blows to various threat actors and their infrastructures,” Baker added. “While the fight is far from over, the enduring effects of these law enforcement campaigns suggest that we’re developing more effective and sustainable strategies to combat our adversaries—and we anticipate continued progress in 2025.”

The report also explores the impacts of ransomware on critical infrastructure, examines threat actor deception and misinformation efforts in 2024 and examines major ransomware events throughout the year, including the continued fallout from Operation Cronos.

The GRIT 2025 Ransomware & Cyber Threat Report is based on data obtained from publicly available resources, vendor threat research, internal incident response case data and open-source intelligence collected from illicit forums and marketplaces.
