In this blog post, we explore key findings from the CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report and discuss why adversary simulation testing is essential to stay ahead of advanced threats.

CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report: Our key takeaways
Hackers can break in and gain access to your data in a record 48 minutes:
With such a narrow window of time, businesses cannot afford to be caught off guard by undetected vulnerabilities or have any delays in their incident response.
79% of detections in 2024 were malware-free:
These sophisticated tactics make detection through traditional antivirus solutions and signature-based monitoring increasingly ineffective.

The need for adversary simulation testing
As the threat landscape becomes increasingly complicated, staying ahead of hackers is more important than ever. During adversary simulation testing, cybersecurity professionals emulate the tools, techniques, and procedures of real-world threat actors to evaluate your business’ threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities. This assessment provides critical insights into how quickly and effectively your team and overall security operations mitigate a potential attack. Through this assessment, you can identify weaknesses to strengthen your incident detection and response strategies.
Here’s how adversary simulation testing can help your business address security challenges, including faster breakout time and malware-free attacks.
Identify weaknesses in security processes
Mimics malware-free attacks
Measures detection & response time
Validates security investments
