Introduction
This report aggregates data and trends from the serious incidents we responded to in 2024. While the majority of these incidents occurred across New Zealand and Australia, we include data from incidents in other parts of the world.
In line with CyberCX’s mission to protect and secure our communities, we publish this data to better inform organisations about the attack vectors and tactics used by threat actors in a global cyber security landscape that is continuing to deteriorate. We hope that organisations will take insights and perspectives from this report as they consider their own controls and strategies for 2025 and beyond.
