Most attacks target critical economic sectors
The 2025 Threat Intelligence Index published by IBM X-Force revealed which areas are most affected by cyberattacks. According to the report, 40 percent of the attacks recorded globally throughout 2024 targeted the manufacturing industry, while 16 percent targeted finance and insurance institutions.
Production and financial infrastructures are the main targets
According to the data in the index, more than half of the attacks are aimed at directly disrupting production lines and systems that ensure cash flow. This poses serious risks to both supply chains and economic security.
Cyber threats are concentrated in strategic areas
According to experts, the focus of these attacks is not only financial gain but also operational disruption. In particular, the halting of production systems can cause companies to lose millions of dollars. Attacks on finance and insurance infrastructures increase the risk of user data theft and fraud.
