InfoSecurity Europe 2025 by the numbers
InfoSecurity Europe 2025 drew more than 13,000 information and cybersecurity professionals and 380 exhibitors, delivering more than 200 hours of inspiring talks from leading industry experts and keynote speakers.
The speed and motivation of cyber threats is rapidly evolving
InfoSecurity Europe 2025’s theme of “Building a Safer Cyber World” was a clear response to the evolving speed and motivation of cyber threats. Cyber attacks are more than just a way for ransomware groups to make a lucrative living. They are the most common tactic in modern warfare, executed by state-sponsored threat actors. With nations, large and small, looking for ways to exert geopolitical dominance without dropping bombs or deploying troops, today’s warfare is conducted in the cyber domain at a fraction of the cost.
Whether a cyber attack is executed by a state or non-state sponsored actor has no influence on the underlying attack tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). The methods and processes are the same, and they both seek to impact organizations as quickly as possible, while continuously enhancing their tools for greater effectiveness.
AI is the latest tool being used by threat actors to improve their attacks’ potency and success. The technology that industry has been developing over the last decade to improve efficiency and allow people to shift to greater value-adding activities is being adapted by threat actors to more efficiently identify vulnerabilities and impact the systems that critical infrastructure relies on. Cybersecurity professionals committed to powering the protection of people, assets, and data are at a critical point where they must upgrade their arsenals to keep pace in the conflict that plays out everyday in the cyber domain.
Dataminr contributed to the conversation by leading two sessions that highlighted the power of emerging AI technologies that enable cybersecurity professionals to stay ahead of threat actors. Our presentations focused on the topics of “Using Agentic AI to Bring Meaning to Information at Scale,” and “The Future of Cyber Defense: How AI and Preemptive Cybersecurity are Shaping the Next Generation of Threat Mitigation.”
Dataminr’s approach: Actionable intelligence for preemptive defense
In recent years, cybersecurity teams have turned to threat intelligence services to provide external visibility into threat activity. While these tools still provide security value, they primarily help teams prepare and prioritize before an attack, as well as to remediate and recover after an attack.
Traditional threat intelligence solutions fall critically short in aiding security teams precisely at the time of an attack. That is, the time when a cyber attack—or similar cyber risk event—is imminent or active.
Dataminr Pulse for Cyber Risk adapts to modern cyber threats by fundamentally shifting the threat intelligence paradigm from a reactive to proactive defense through real-time AI-powered intelligence:
- Immediate threat visibility: Real-time intelligence provides immediate visibility into emerging threats, instantly triaging threat activities in real time so defenders can act decisively at the earliest possible stage.
- Actionable intelligence with continually updating situational context: With instantaneous and comprehensive insight into threats, security teams can prioritize critical vulnerabilities, rapidly deploy patches, or initiate targeted mitigation actions—closing the gap between threat discovery and response.
- Enhanced operational agility: Real-time intelligence allows defenders to proactively adapt security strategies and defensive postures, reducing attack surface exposure and limiting adversary impact.
