Current Attack Scenario

A cyberattack doesn't just bring down systems—it paralyzes hospitals, freezes financial markets, and disrupts entire supply chains. In a world where governments, businesses, and societies depend on interconnected digital environments, a single breach can trigger devastating consequences on a global scale.

Attacks that shook Brazil

The scenario is worrying: cyberattacks on the financial sector jumped from 864 incidents in 2024 to 1,858 in 2025, a growth of 115% in one year, according to Check Point Software.

Brazil remains one of the main targets in Latin America.

ISTOÉ Dinheiro (nov/2025)

"Brazil's cyber vulnerability attracts hacker attacks on its financial system"
C&M Software — The biggest scam in the history of the Brazilian financial system.

The level of maturity is alarmingly low.

Only 5% of Brazilian organizations have reached a level considered mature in terms of preparedness against cyberattacks, according to the Cybersecurity Readiness Index 2025 — and this index is the same as in 2024, signaling stagnation. Most companies still operate at initial or intermediate levels of maturity, with weaknesses in network protection, access control, incident response, and data governance. Source: TI Inside


This gap is paradoxical: 75% of companies classify cybersecurity as "very important" to their business strategy, but a third of executives (34%) admit that their organization is not adequately prepared to deal with cyberattacks. There is, therefore, a worrying misalignment between perception and action. Source: MundoCoop


MAIN VULNERABILITIES EXPLOITED


According to Sophos, 44% of organizations attacked in Brazil had incidents originating from exploited vulnerabilities. Compromised credentials accounted for 20% of cases, malicious email campaigns for 18%, and phishing in its various forms for 14%. Source: Convergência Digital


Almost half (46%) of organizations that suffered breaches identified an employee error or action as the starting point of the intrusion—clicking on a malicious link, opening an infected attachment, or sharing credentials. Source: MundoCoop


RANSOMWARE HAS EVOLVED


By 2025, triple-extortion ransomware had established itself as one of the most aggressive threats. Criminals began operating on three simultaneous fronts: encrypting internal data, threatening to publicly expose confidential information, and directly contacting the victim's suppliers, customers, and business partners to amplify reputational and legal damage.

The old strategy of "restoring everything through backup" has become irrelevant, as encryption no longer pays off. The real advantage for criminals now comes from the exposure of data, and blackmail has become protracted—when sensitive data is published, the damage can even lead to the company's bankruptcy.
