Ine alert: $ 16.6 billion in cyber-highs highlight the critical need for advanced security training

Cary, North Carolina, June 2, 2025 / Cybernewswire / –Ine securityA world leader in cybersecurity training and certification, emphasizes the urgent need of technical cybersecurity professionals who can detect, analyze and neutralize threats once they have circumvented the initial defenses.

The latest annual report of the FBI Internet Crime Complaints Center (IC3) reveals a harsh reality: cybercriminals extracted a record of $ 16.6 billion from victims in 2024, which represents an increase of 33% compared to the previous year.

Although these losses include individual and organizational victims, business -oriented attacks underlined in the report highlight an essential skills gap.

The technical challenge behind the figures

While the FBI report captures financial damage, the underlying technical reality is more complex:

• Evolution of ransomware: the thrust of 18% of critical infrastructure attacks, led by sophisticated variants such as Akira, Lockbit and Ransomhub, demonstrates that modern ransomware operators use advanced techniques, including lateral movements, climbing privileges and data exfiltration that requires detection skills.

• Post-compromise detection: the 2.77 billion dollars compromise by business email, which mainly target organizations, represent successful attacks that have escaped the first security checks. Organizations need security professionals trained in forensic analysis, network traffic analysis and incident response to identify and contain these threats after accessing initial access.

• Complexity of cryptocurrency attacks: the peak of 66% of cryptocurrency fraud (9.3 billion dollars in total) includes attacks against individual and organizational victims, but reflects the analysis requirements of the increasingly sophisticated blockchain and the need for safety teams formed in crypto-crise and threats.

Ine Security technical training response

“While the FBI report captures losses in all types of victims, business -oriented attacks demonstrate that organizations are faced with increasingly sophisticated threats that require advanced defensive capacities,” said Dara Warn, CEO of Ine Security.

“Organizations need security professionals with practical technical skills to hunt threats, analyze malware and respond to incidents with deep technical expertise.”

The training programs for Ine Security companies tackle post -ABRI reality – through:

• Advanced labs of threat detection: Practical training with CVE and current attack techniques, allowing security teams to recognize and analyze specific TTPs (tactics, techniques and procedures) used by ransomware groups and advanced persistent threats.

• Response to incidents And Medical training: Practical skills in terms of malware analysis, memory criminalist and network traffic analysis that allow rapid identification and confinement once the attackers have had access.

• Threat hunting methodologies: Proactive detection techniques that help the security teams to identify compromise indicators before achieving their planned objectives.

• Industry -specific attack simulation: Personalized training environments that reproduce specific threats facing manufacturing, health care, government and financial sectors – the most targeted industries according to FBI data.

The reality of skills

The focus made by the FBI report on the successful level of operation, which allowed victims of $ 285.6 million thanks to proactive identification, underlines the value of qualified security professionals who can proactively drive out threats and analyze complex attack models.

“The difference between a security incident of $ 10,000 and a violation of $ 10 million is often limited to detection speed and response capacity,” said warning. “Organizations with certified security professionals trained in advanced technical skills detect threats in hours rather than months.”

Business training that deals with real threats

Ine Security's corporate programs are designed around the technical realities revealed in the FBI report:

• Training to analyze malware: practical experience with current ransomware families and attack techniques
• Network safety monitoring: Advanced skills to detect lateral movements and data exfiltration
• Medical cryptocurrency: training specialized in blockchain analysis and hunting for cryptocurrency threats
• Personalized threat simulation: attack scenarios specific to industry based on real information of threats

For organizations that seek to strengthen the technical security capacities necessary to combat sophisticated threats highlighted in the FBI IC3 report, Ine Security offers personalized business training solutions.

Organizations can request a demo to explore how advanced safety training can improve their detection and response capacities.
