Top 50 Cybersecurity Threats

Security Splunk Threat Research Team

Key takeaways

  1. Cyber threats are evolving quickly with the help of AI, making attacks more coordinated and harder for overwhelmed security teams to manage.
  2. The new Top 50 Cybersecurity Threats guide explains today’s most important threats and how attackers operate, helping organizations know what to watch for.
  3. A unified, data-driven approach using analytics and AI can help security teams cut through the noise, focus on real risks, and respond faster.

Introducing Top 50 Cybersecurity Threats

AI is reshaping the cybersecurity threat landscape in real time. Attackers are getting more adaptive and isolated security events are escalating into coordinated attacks faster than ever. Meanwhile, your security operations center (SOC) is expected to make sense of a growing flood of data with limited time and resources.

Sound familiar?

To help security teams cut through the noise, we’re officially launching Top 50 Cybersecurity Threats at RSAC this year—a practical field guide to the tactics and techniques shaping today’s threat landscape. From credential dumping and cloud misconfigurations to cryptojacking and evolving malware payloads, this e-book breaks down how modern threat actors operate, why their approaches are changing, and where defenders should focus next.

But understanding threats is only half of the battle. Staying ahead requires a data driven, unified approach to threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR). By connecting insights across your environment and applying analytics and AI, security teams can reduce noise, prioritize risk, and respond to threats even faster. Stop by the Splunk booth to explore the guide, talk with our experts, and see how a unified, data-driven approach can help your SOC move faster and operate smarter.

Can’t wait until RSAC? Download the e-book now, explore additional resources, and register for our upcoming webinar, where we break down the most important threats security teams should be preparing for.
