The risk landscape is continuously evolving, requiring companies to regularly identify Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and adapt their IT security strategies to stay ahead of emerging threats. A striking example of the evolution of risk is how the Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) group Qilin has ramped up their attacks this year. According to threat intelligence experts at Cisco Talos, in the second half of 2025, Qilin published information stolen during ransomware attacks at a rate of more than 40 cases a month, many targeting the manufacturing industry, making it the top ransomware group identified in October 2025.
