KnowBe4 Releases Cybersecurity Predictions for 2025
TAMPA BAY, Fla., Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KnowBe4, the world-renowned
cybersecurity platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management,
announced its 2025 cybersecurity predictions from its team of global industry
experts.
As we enter 2025, we must embrace the potential of AI to enhance our defenses
and protect organizations globally.
In 2024, the world witnessed cyber threats evolve faster than before primarily
due to the rise in the number of and popularity of AI tools. These tools assist
cybercriminals in refining and making attack tactics more sophisticated and more
difficult to recognize, while it helps cybersecurity professionals defend
against attacks more effectively.
1. AI-enabled tools for cyber defense and attacks will continue to improve
As AI technology advances, both defenders and attackers are taking advantage
of its capabilities. On the cybersecurity side, sophisticated AI-powered
tools that detect and respond to threats more efficiently are being
developed. Capabilities like AI being able to analyze big amounts of data,
identify anomalies, and enhance the accuracy of threat detection will be of
massive assistance to cybersecurity teams going forward.
However, cybercriminals are also adopting AI to create more advanced attack
methods. For instance, AI-powered social engineering campaigns that
manipulate emotions and target specific vulnerabilities more effectively
will make it difficult for individuals to distinguish between real and fake
content. As AI capabilities evolve on both sides, the standoff between
defenders and attackers intensifies, making constant innovation and
adaptation crucial.
2. Ransomware attacks will remain a problem
Ransomware attacks will continue to be a massive threat due to the
collaboration between ransomware gangs and initial access brokers. In a
measure to combat this, AI will become a popular tool to monitor networks
and individual devices for anomalies like unusual encryption processes. This
will greatly reduce the impact of attempted ransomware attacks.
3. The human factor in cybersecurity will become more of a focus
Organizations will continue to recognize the importance of frequent security
awareness training and simulated phishing tests to manage the inherent human
risk that exists within it. At the same time, cybercriminals will keep
refining their social engineering techniques, making attacks more
personalized and effective.
Going forward, the challenge will lie in maintaining employee vigilance
without causing phishing fatigue. To prevent this, it is important for
organizations to focus on making training more adaptive and relevant to
employees in order to create better protections and engagement for a
positive security culture.
4. The improvement of deepfake detection technologies
2025 will see deepfake AI detection technologies improve, become more
accessible, and more effectively address the growing concern of identifying
deepfakes. On the other hand, cybercriminals are also expected to leverage
disinformation and deepfakes in their attacks, using them to accelerate
extortion, hide other attacks, or damage organizational reputations.
5. The adoption of a zero-trust mindset and cyber-mindfulness
There will be a wider adoption of a zero-trust mindset and
cyber-mindfulness, representing a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
Organizations embracing these principles encourage a vigilant attitude among
their employees, treating every user and device as a potential threat.
Training employees to maintain a healthy level of skepticism encourages them
to apply critical thinking skills, and this mindset shift will be another
crucial step in mitigating internal risks.
6. Regulation, misinformation, and disinformation in the United States
In the United States AI-driven misinformation and disinformation campaigns
will continue to focus on the political sector and be spread through social
media.
The country will also pay closer attention to creating regulation or
legislation for AI development, risk management, privacy and other
cybersecurity protections.
"The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, and the dynamic between
defenders and attackers has never been more complex," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO,
KnowBe4. "As we enter 2025, we must embrace the potential of AI to enhance our
defenses and protect organizations globally. At KnowBe4, we are dedicated to
staying at the forefront of this evolution, providing human risk management
tools and tactics to protect organizations against sophisticated threats. It is
a continuous journey of innovation and adaptation."
It is more important than ever to focus on the human element in organizations to
lower the risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime. One of the best forms of
defense remains cultivating a robust security culture.
The predicted trends were collected from KnowBe4's global team of security
awareness advocates who are experts with decades of experience in the
cybersecurity field. For more information on KnowBe4's team of experts, visit
