Netwrix Predicts Key IT Security Trends for 2025
FRISCO, Texas, Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Netwrix, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions, has unveiled the top trends expected to impact organizations in 2025.
According to Ilia Sotnikov, Security Strategist at Netwrix, three key trends are on the horizon:
1. AI will revolutionize business operations, but cybersecurity basics will remain crucial. As organizations integrate AI-powered solutions into their workflows, new security challenges will arise. To address these risks, security teams must enhance data access governance, privileged access management, and activity monitoring protocols.
2. Social engineering attacks will become more sophisticated. Malicious actors will leverage advanced techniques like spear phishing and deepfake technology to target organizations. Implementing identity verification measures for financial transactions can help mitigate these threats.
3. Compliance requirements will become more complex. New cybersecurity regulations, such as the US National Cybersecurity Strategy and NIS2 Directive, will emphasize the importance of third-party cyber risk management. Organizations must prioritize building a robust security architecture to meet compliance standards.
Looking back at previous predictions, Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix, noted that cyber insurance requirements have tightened, and supply chain attacks are on the rise.
“As cyber threats evolve in 2025, cybersecurity awareness training for employees will be crucial,” says Schrader. “Adopting a Zero Trust model based on least privilege can significantly reduce the risk of attacks while ensuring regulatory compliance.”
