Exciting news for cyber risk practitioners! Tony Martin-Vegue has joined Cyentia Institute as an Executive Fellow. What exactly does that mean? Glad you asked! Tony is widely recognized and highly regarded in the cyber risk community as a leader, analyst, and communicator. Cyentia is well-known for its groundbreaking risk research and data-driven capabilities. Just imagine…
Our analysis of probability in the IRIS 2025 focused on the likelihood of experiencing at least one security incident within a year. It’s possible, of course, for organizations to suffer more than one loss event in that timeframe, and veteran IRIS readers may recall that prior studies included a table of probabilities for at least one, two, and three incidents in a 12-month period. Those readers may be disappointed upon realizing updated tables are missing from the latest IRIS. If that describes you, this should ease your disappointment.
If you’ve ever read one of our reports and wished there was some additional firmographic slices, more detail around an analytical technique, or another version of a chart…then this is your lucky day. This is exactly the kind of content you’ll get by joining Cyentia’s new membership program. Best of all, anyone can join right now for FREE!
Gov-Sponsored Study: Cost of Cyber Attacks Climbs 15X Higher–Analysis of 15 years of historical data reveals that cybersecurity incidents are more common and costly than ever
The IRIS 2025 report takes you inside 15 years of cyber incident patterns, revealing how the threat landscape continues to shift. Ransomware has skyrocketed to historic highs, while accidental disclosures have quietly faded—but for how long?

We studied the 50 largest multi-party incidents over the past several years to understand their causes and consequences from beginning to end. This report identified cyber events involving multiple organizations and sought to understand who was behind them, what happened, how the after-effects propagated through the supply chain, and the financial losses for all parties involved.
The Information Risk Insights Study (IRIS) 20/20 “Xtreme” edition continues the IRIS series with in-depth analysis of the 100 largest cyber loss events of the last 5 years. If you’re looking for stats on how often major security incidents occur, how much they cost, what makes them worse, who’s behind them, and how they go down, then this is the study for you!
Ransomware remains a dominant force in the cybersecurity landscape, inciting significant concern across industries. Regular headlines underscore the catastrophic effects of these attacks, underscoring the vital need for robust defenses and informed decision-making. Our Information Risk Insights Study on Ransomware aims to transform the prevalent fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) into a proactive stance of awareness, preparedness, and resilience. By presenting clear, data-driven insights, we guide organizations from uncertainty to strategic, informed action.
The IRIS 20/20 aims to clear the fog of FUD surrounding cyber risk and help managers see their way to better data-driven decisions. This first-of-its-kind study leverages a vast dataset from Advisen spanning tens of thousands of breaches over the last decade. Our extensive analysis of that dataset yields valuable insights about the frequency and financial impact of cyber incidents to organizations of all types and sizes.
