ENISA phishing-led intrusion and DDoS trends across EU organizations
Target Trend
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
ENISA's Threat Landscape 2025 shows phishing remained the dominant initial-access path across EU organizations, keeping credential theft and follow-on compromise at the center of risk. The same period also saw vulnerability exploitation as a major secondary vector and DDoS as the dominant attack-volume pattern. That matters because most intrusions ended in follow-up malware deployment, increasing the chance that a single entry point turns into broader disruption. The trend also underscores persistent pressure on public administration and other high-value sectors.
