State of Cybersecurity Report 2025

AI Strengthens and Disrupts Cyber Resilience

Rethinking Risk, Resilience, and the Role of AI

Wipro’s 2025 State of Cybersecurity Report (SOCR) presents an in-depth examination of how security professionals are navigating a disruptive, AI-driven threat environment by addressing three critical questions:

1. What is the current state of cyberattacks and breaches?

2. What is the state of enterprise capabilities for addressing evolving threats?

3. Which technologies are poised to impact enterprise cybersecurity in the near future?

The extensive data in this report reveal how global organizations are navigating today’s cybersecurity environment.

AI is driving continual innovation and disruption — acting as both friend and foe at a time when CISOs are under financial pressure to do more with less

Two big themes are at the forefront of these efforts:

AI and automation — AI is driving exponential productivity gains, enhancing threat detection, automating repetitive tasks, and remediating security vulnerabilities. By providing deeper insights than human analysis alone, AI empowers teams to focus on strategic initiatives, transforming cybersecurity programs by strengthening defenses, optimizing costs, and enabling faster, more agile threat responses.

Cost optimization — CISOs face growing pressure to maximize security investments with limited financial resources. Cyber strategies are shifting from simple budget increases to a more outcome-driven approach, prioritizing the use of people, processes, and technology to deliver greater cybersecurity and risk-adjusted returns on investments.
