    Verizon’s Alex Pinto on the takeaways from the 2025 DBIR
    Apr 24 2025
    On this episode of Safe Mode, Greg talks with Alex Pinto, Associate Director of Threat Intelligence at Verizon Business, as we unpack the key findings from this year’s Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). Pinto offers expert analysis on the most pressing cybersecurity trends impacting organizations worldwide—including ransomware’s dramatic spike, shifting attacker tactics, and evolving victim responses. We explore why ransomware now features in 44% of breaches, what’s driving a surge in exploited vulnerabilities and zero-day attacks on edge devices, and why small and mid-sized businesses are seeing more frequent and devastating impacts. Pinto sheds light on the motivations behind declining ransom payments, the rise of third-party risks, and the complex challenge of timely patching and remediation. In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Derek Johnson on one company’s security testing of OpenAI’s newest GPT model.
