Insights from the Techn22 Threat Report 2025
Cyber threats are changing fast, and this year’s Techn22 Threat Report reveals a worrying trend: attackers are getting smarter, faster, and more targeted. Businesses and individuals alike are facing risks that didn’t exist even 12 months ago.
Published by Techn22, a Beavis Morgan Group company, the Threat Report outlines how AI-driven phishing, data extortion, and supply chain breaches are now some of the most dangerous threats facing UK organisations of all sizes.
Key findings from the 2025 report:
- AI is fuelling more convincing attacks – including phishing emails and deepfakes that mimic real people.
- Ransomware is shifting to “pure extortion” – where data is stolen and threatened with exposure rather than encrypted.
- Supply chains are under pressure – with attackers targeting software vendors and critical service providers to hit multiple victims at once.
- SMEs and professionals remain prime targets – due to less mature security setups and high-value data.
For accountancy firms, educators, retailers, and professional service providers, the message is clear: cyber resilience must be a priority, not a project.
Why this matters
As the report makes clear, cybersecurity isn’t just a technical issue, it’s a business risk tied directly to your reputation, compliance, and operational continuity. A single breach can lead to serious financial loss, regulatory action, and long-term damage to client trust.
