Throughout 2025, FortiGuard Labs disrupted 3.8 trillion vulnerability exploitation attempts and blocked 2.71 billion malware deliveries, a 23% year-over-year rise. Banks, insurers, and payment providers sit at the center of the digital economy, which makes them a prime target. The past year proved it: an unauthenticated zero-day in Oracle E-Business Suite put financial and supply-chain operations at immediate risk, Citrix Bleed 2 fueled large-scale credential harvesting from exposed appliances, and chained attacks against Cisco, Ivanti, and F5 struck the very edge devices that protect branch and remote-access connectivity.
