Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. NCC Group has released its\u202fAnnual Cyber Security Research Report 2025,\u202fshowcasing\u202fa year defined by rapid technological change, deep technical\u202fexploration\u202fand major advances across the global research organisation. The report reflects contributions from teams across the UK, Europe, North\u202fAmerica\u202fand APAC, delivering over 1,100 research days, 40 publications, 17 new or updated public tools, 8 technical advisories, and 8 public reports, alongside hundreds of enhancements across more than 280 open-source repositories.\u202f
\nFrom AI-driven intrusions to post-quantum cryptography and secure automotive systems, NCC Group\u2019s researchers continued to push boundaries across offensive and defensive security disciplines, strengthening global cyber resilience through open knowledge sharing, tooling and independent assurance-driven intrusions to post-quantum cryptography and secure automotive systems.
\nAndy Davis,\u00a0Global Research Director\u00a0at NCC Group commented:\u202f\u201c2025 marked a turning point in cyber security. AI-driven intrusions, post-quantum\u202ftransition\u202fand cryptographically mature systems are transforming how we secure the digital world. Our research community continues to lead by combining deep\u00a0technical\u202fexpertise\u202fwith responsible, transparent impact. This report reflects the ingenuity,\u202fcollaboration\u202fand rigour of our global teams.\u201d\u202f\u00a0
\nAI security becomes a defining global challenge\u202f\u00a0
\nThe report outlines rapidly expanding risks associated with AI adoption, including real-time deepfake vishing, prompt injection, unsafe agentic AI behaviour, and the rise of \u201cshadow AI.\u201d NCC Group\u2019s research emphasises that defending modern AI systems requires architectural controls, strong data trust\u202fboundaries\u202fand disciplined cloud-AI hardening, not guardrails alone.
\nCryptography and postquantum readiness accelerate\u202f\u00a0
\nThe Cryptography Services team advanced applied research across post-quantum cryptography, private processing for AI inference, threshold\u202fsignatures\u202fand secure messaging. NCC Group supported organisations preparing for PQC migration and delivered assessments across blockchain and quantum-enabled infrastructures as global adoption accelerates.
\nDeep technical specialism in exploitation and hardware security\u202f\u00a0
\nNCC Group\u2019s Exploit Development Group (EDG) continued to push boundaries in automotive exploitation, embedded device research, hypervisor\u202fsecurity\u202fand AI-augmented vulnerability analysis. As exploitation becomes harder, the report highlights the growing need for specialist research and bespoke tooling to understand and defend against advanced threat actors.
\nBuilding confidence in cyber-physical and regulated environments\u202f\u00a0
\nTransport, safety and cyber-physical systems research focused on cryptographically mature automotive architectures, UAS assurance, electrification ecosystems, and new demands from global regulatory frameworks. NCC Group continued to expand its leadership in Claims Arguments Evidence (CAE) and assurance for AI\/ML in high-integrity systems.
