Gartner projects $213 billion in global cybersecurity spending in 2025, up from $96 billion in 2018. That's a 122% increase in seven years.
Meanwhile, global cybercrime losses have reached $10.5 trillion annually in 2025, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. The FBI's IC3 alone recorded $16.6 billion in reported losses from 859,532 complaints in 2024.
For every dollar you spend on security, you lose fifty dollars to criminals. In 2018, security spending was $114B while cybercrime losses were roughly $1.5 trillion. By 2025, spending hit $213B but losses exploded to $10.5 trillion. The gap grew 600%. Congratulations on your ROI.
The Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report analyzed 22,000 security incidents including 12,195 confirmed breaches — record numbers. Ransomware was present in 44% of breaches, up 37% year-over-year. And 60% of breaches were caused by known vulnerabilities with patches already available. You had the fix. You just didn't apply it.
Getting hacked is inevitable. Security companies get hacked too. CrowdStrike's own security product crashed 8.5 million Windows systems in a single day in July 2024, causing $5.4 billion in damages to the Fortune 500. No hacker has ever been that efficient. Doing Nothing would have saved $5.4 billion.
Data loss prevention doesn't work. Nearly 50% of organizations deem their DLP tools ineffective, yet 64% experienced data loss incidents anyway. As few as 1% of users generate 90% of DLP alerts. You're paying for noise.
Security awareness training doesn't work. Phishing click rates tripled in 2024 despite years of training, according to Netskope Threat Labs. AI-generated spear phishing now achieves a 54% success rate. Your employees will click on absolutely anything, and now the bait is written better than your security policies.
Your SIEM doesn't work. 53% of alerts are false positives. 30% of all alerts go completely uninvestigated. And 74% of breaches had alerts that were generated but ignored by overwhelmed analysts. You're paying for an alarm system that cries wolf 960 times a day.
Your firewall doesn't work. CyberRatings.org independently tested cloud native firewalls from AWS, Azure, and GCP in 2025 and all three scored 0% Security Effectiveness. If you're using any major cloud provider, you already have Nothing Security built-in.
The average enterprise runs 76 different security tools. Organizations with 50+ tools are actually 8% worse at detecting threats than those with fewer. More tools equals less security. The only thing growing is the invoices.
70% of CISOs admit they might be wasting a quarter of their budget on ineffective measures. That's $53 billion in waste. Nothing costs $0.
The solution to all of these problems is not more expensive security solutions that demonstrably don't work. Stop wasting money on the empty promise of securing things that can't be secured. It's time to accept the risk you chose when you put your valuables on the Internet.
It's time to Do Nothing™.
