Comcast Business has released its 2025 Cybersecurity Threat Report, analyzing 34.6 billion cybersecurity events from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025. In its third year, the report provides critical insights into the evolving threat landscape, emphasizing the need for adaptive, people-centric cybersecurity strategies to counter sophisticated, AI-powered attacks. The finance card above shows Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) stock at $30.94, reflecting a year-to-date decline from $33.25, amid a focus on bolstering cybersecurity offerings.
The report details a surge in attack volume and sophistication, with 4.7 billion phishing attempts exploiting human error, 9.7 billion drive-by compromise attacks requiring no user interaction, and 44,000 DDoS attacks using short-burst tactics. Additionally, 19.5 billion resource development events indicate heavy attacker investment in infrastructure. The rise of LOTL techniques, where adversaries leverage legitimate tools, complicates detection by blending malicious actions with normal operations.
The 2025 report introduces “The Human Equation,” reframing cybersecurity as a dual challenge of technology and human behavior. Overextended security teams face escalating threats, while end-user actions introduce vulnerabilities. This perspective underscores the need for strategies that address both technical defenses and human factors to build resilience.
“Cybersecurity is no longer just a technology issue – it’s a business imperative,” said Noopur Davis, Chief Information Security and Product Privacy Officer, Comcast Corporation. “Our 2025 Threat Report underscores the urgency for businesses to rethink risk, invest in multi-layered, adaptive defenses, and put people at the center of their security strategy.”
“We’re seeing a shift from perimeter-based security to people-centric resilience,” continued Davis. “Comcast Business is uniquely positioned to support both sides of the equation – with secure networking, 24/7 managed detection and response, and a deep understanding of the human factors that shape cyber risk.”
