Cyber Security Intelligence Systems (CSIS) has reported a significant increase in ransomware attacks targeting critical infrastructure in 2025. Analysis published on news.csisofficial.com reveals that energy grids, transportation systems, and healthcare networks have become prime targets for cybercriminals seeking large-scale disruption.

These attacks not only demand high ransom payments but also threaten public safety and national security. In several incidents, attackers used double-extortion tactics—encrypting data while simultaneously stealing sensitive information for blackmail.

CSIS recommends organizations strengthen their resilience by implementing:

  • Zero Trust security models
  • 24/7 monitoring and incident response plans
  • Regular backup and recovery strategies
  • Advanced cybersecurity training via academy.csisofficial.com

By combining real-time intelligence updates and professional education, CSIS remains committed to helping organizations defend against ransomware and critical infrastructure threats.
