BrandShield’s 2025 CyberScam Report: What Every CISO Needs to Know

As cyber threats become more advanced and persistent, security leaders are under growing pressure to stay ahead. Now in its second year, BrandShield’s 2025 CyberScam Report reveals the most urgent priorities and challenges faced by CISOs across the US, UK, and EU—and the key actions they’re taking to protect their organizations in today’s evolving digital landscape. Key finding: 98% of organizations experienced at least one cyberattack in the past year. With threats like brand impersonation, phishing, and AI-generated scams on the rise, it’s clear that traditional cybersecurity alone is no longer enough. CISOs are increasingly turning to proactive, AI-powered solutions to safeguard their brands and customers.

Top Challenges Revealed in the Report

Brand Impersonation: A Growing Threat

Nearly every CISO surveyed reported financial losses due to impersonation attacks, with 94% saying those losses exceeded $500,000. Fraudsters create fake websites, social media accounts, and scam ads using company branding—damaging trust and exposing customers to financial harm.

The AI Factor

Generative AI is now a double-edged sword. While it has great potential for defenders, it’s also a powerful tool in the hands of cybercriminals—helping them scale and automate phishing, scam content, and fake digital assets. The result? Smarter scams and faster spread.
