Summary
As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, experts anticipate four major trends impacting the field by 2025. The rise of single points of failure in IT systems, highlighted by incidents such as the ransomware attack on Change Healthcare, poses a significant vulnerability. Additionally, the regulatory environment is shifting, placing increased pressure on Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) as they navigate heightened scrutiny and redundant disclosure requests from government bodies, including the SEC's new reporting requirements for publicly traded companies. Furthermore, ongoing attacks on U.S. telecom networks, particularly by the Chinese-sponsored group Salt Typhoon, represent a serious threat to critical infrastructure, with federal authorities still evaluating their full impact.
