Review of 2024 & Look ahead to 2025

Hugh MCGauran - Regional Account Director - ARMIS

Review of 2024 

• The evolution of AI Driven Threats
•  Regulatory and Compliance pressure
• Cyberwarfare and Geopolitical risks
• From patching to proactive risk management

2025: A Year of Transformation in Cybersecurity

1. Cybersecurity Elevated:

   • 2025 marks the year cybersecurity transitions from an operational concern to a boardroom priority.

   • Regulatory drivers like NIS2 and DORA mandate executive accountability, integrating cyber risk with business strategy.
     
     

2. AI: Friend and Foe:

   • As AI-driven threats evolve, organisations must adopt AI-powered defences to stay ahead of attackers.

   • Prediction: By 2025, 70% of organisations will leverage AI for proactive security (Gartner).
     
     

3. From Reactive to Proactive:

   • Platforms like CTEM (Cyber Threat Exposure Management) will lead the way in managing vulnerabilities dynamically and proactively.

   • Real-time risk scoring and AI insights will be game-changers.
     
     

4. The Future is Unified:

   • Collaboration between governments, industries, and technology leaders is essential to combat rising geopolitical risks and protect critical infrastructure.
