In a global context marked by the increase in cyber attacks and the rapid advancement of digital technologies, Orange Business launches Business Internet Security 2025, a comprehensive analysis of cybersecurity challenges and solutions, dedicated to companies and organizations in Romania.

Now in its seventh edition, the report provides detailed insights into the main challenges, trends in cybersecurity evolution and solutions developed to protect companies and public administrations.

It also provides an outlook on predictions for 2025, offering concrete solutions developed by Orange Business to protect organizations against emerging threats. Cyber ​​threat landscape in 2024 Each month, the Business Internet Security (BIS) service monitors over 14 million cyber attacks, confirming not only the increase in volume, but also their complexity.

Among the most common threats are ransomware attacks, which dominate the threat landscape in 2024, followed by DDoS and phishing attacks, both of which are increasingly sophisticated due to the use of artificial intelligence-based tools. According to the data, the energy sector remains the most exposed, being the target of 31% of recorded cyber attacks. This is followed by public administration (27%) and the IT industry (25%).

Bucharest also stands out as the most targeted city in Romania, with over 1.25 million incidents prevented monthly. Thus, the digitalization of Romanian companies comes not only with benefits, but also with significant security challenges, in the context in which attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the protection of IT infrastructures is becoming an absolute priority for companies in all sectors.

Advanced technologies for better security Orange Business provides companies with robust cyber protection solutions. Cyber ​​threat data is processed anonymously, and in a high-security and confidentiality environment, providing a complete picture of risks, nationally, regionally and distributed by industry verticals. Ransomware remains the main threat, affecting 32% of monitored organizations, while DDoS attacks have seen an alarming increase, using IoT devices to generate large volumes of malicious traffic.

Orange Business offers a range of complete solutions for threat protection, such as:

• Business Internet Security (BIS) – protects company data, employees and visitors against cyber attacks. The solution filters data traffic through the Orange data center infrastructure, eliminating viruses, malware and other threats before they reach the company’s network and devices (mobile, laptop, etc.)
• Threats & Exposures Management – ​​is a security solution based on artificial intelligence, which detects, assesses and reports security vulnerabilities in websites, web applications and resources with public IPs. It protects company data, facilitates rapid security measures and prioritizes problem resolution, being accessible through a web platform.
