2025 Threat Hunting Report

The 2025 CrowdStrike Threat Hunting Report reveals a sharp rise in sophisticated, hands-on-keyboard attacks as adversaries adopt business-like precision and expand across cloud, identity, and unmanaged environments. Threat groups increasingly use generative AI to enhance phishing, reconnaissance, and technical operations, accelerating both access and impact. Cross-domain hunting — spanning endpoint, cloud, identity, and SIEM data — is now essential to uncover stealthy actors such as Blockade Spider, Operator Panda, and Scattered Spider. The report underscores how rapidly evolving intrusion techniques demand stronger visibility, faster detection, and tighter identity protection to stay ahead of modern threat actors.
