Check Point said organisations faced 1,968 attacks per week in 2025, with Singapore seeing a higher average of 2,272 weekly attacks.
Cyber security solutions Check Point Software found that organisations globally experienced an average of 1,968 cyber attacks per week in 2025, a 70% increase since 2023, as attackers increasingly used automation and AI to move faster and scale across more attack surfaces.
The company said Singapore surpassed the global average with 2,272 weekly cyber attacks in 2025, a 17% increase over 2024. Within Singapore, it said the consumer goods and services sector was hit hardest at 3,353 attacks per week, followed by financial services (1,632) and business services (1,588).
Check Point said AI is reshaping how attacks originate, spread, and are stopped, making advanced capabilities more widely accessible and enabling more personalised and coordinated campaigns.
Lotem Finkelstein, VP of Research at Check Point, said: “AI is changing the mechanics of cyber attacks, not just their volume. We are seeing attackers move from purely manual operations to increasingly higher levels of automation, with early signs of autonomous techniques emerging.”
The report highlighted several trends, including more multi-channel social engineering beyond email, a fragmented ransomware ecosystem, rising exposure from edge and infrastructure weaknesses, and security risks emerging in AI infrastructure.
The company recommends organisations reassess security controls for the AI era, apply governance and visibility to AI usage, and adopt a prevention-first approach
