"The Kaspersky Security Services report describes cyberattack trends and statistics revealed by the Managed Detection and Response service," the document states — and it adds that it "also includes Incident Response findings based on real-world cases identified and mitigated in 2025." What does a year of threats, seen through a global security service's eyes, tell organizations and citizens about where cyber risk is headed?
What the report is and what it covers
The publication is a global report from Kaspersky Security Services that compiles two streams of evidence from 2025: telemetry and analytics from its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, and lessons drawn from Incident Response engagements. In short, it combines aggregated operational data with hands-on, real-world remediation experience documented over the year.
Summarizing the current picture
By pairing MDR-derived trends and statistics with Incident Response case findings, the report aims to provide an evidence-based snapshot of the threat landscape as observed by a large security services provider. The MDR data contributes quantitative visibility into attacks detected and patterns observed at scale, while the Incident Response component distills concrete, contextualized learnings from specific cases that were identified and mitigated during 2025.
Why this matters — perspectives from four angles
Technologists: For security operations teams and architects, MDR statistics offer operational signal — patterns, prevalence and detection performance — while Incident Response case studies offer actionable detail on how compromises unfolded and were contained. Together, they can guide priorities for detection tuning, playbook development and investment in response capabilities.
Policymakers: Aggregated, service-level data plus documented incident outcomes create an evidentiary base for policy deliberations. Lawmakers and regulators often need concrete examples and trend data when considering requirements for reporting, minimum security standards or support for incident-response ecosystems.
Users and organizations: For business and public-sector leaders, the combination of trends and real-world cases translates abstract threat talk into operational risk. MDR statistics can show what is rising or receding at scale; incident findings show the practical consequences of detection gaps and the value of rapid response.
Adversaries: The publication of aggregated telemetry and response lessons alters the information environment opponents operate in. Visibility into detection patterns and remediation methods can change adversary tactics — and it can also harden defenders who incorporate published lessons into their defenses.
Paths forward and a closing question
Kaspersky Security Services' approach — marrying MDR statistics with Incident Response narratives from 2025 — underscores a simple proposition: to understand cyber risk you need both broad telemetry and detailed casework. That dual view supports operational improvement, informed policy, and clearer communication to stakeholders. But it also raises a practical challenge for every organization: will the lessons revealed by a security provider’s global report be turned into local change, before the next major incident arrives?
