94% of incidents involve anonymizing infrastructure — why teams still react rather than anticipate

Colleagues, a heads-up for cybersecurity teams: a Spur Intelligence study found anonymizing infrastructure — VPNs and residential proxies — featured in 94% of incidents.

Key findings:
• Anonymizing networks obscure intent: IPs often fail to reveal who’s behind them.
• Most teams remain reactive: IP intelligence is applied post‑incident, not in real time.
• Insider risk is underestimated: BYOD and personal VPNs create blind spots.
• Lack of context and metrics — many do not measure the impact of IP intelligence.

Why it matters: without context and automation we miss opportunities to prevent attacks rather than merely investigate them.

How are you implementing context and automation in IP intelligence?
