Cloud CISO Perspectives: Our 2025 Cybersecurity Forecast report
- The Google Cloud Intelligence Group forecasts that attackers will increasingly use AI as they turn to AI-based tools to support all stages of their attacks, and we expect that trend to continue in 2025.
- We predict that next year, cyber espionage and cybercrime actors will use deepfakes for identity theft, fraud, and bypassing know-your-customer (KYC) security requirements. They will also experiment with AI for information operations, vulnerability research, code development, and reconnaissance.
- Supply chain attacks will continue to be a major challenge in 2025, too. Attackers will increasingly target smaller suppliers and third-party vendors with weaker security postures to gain indirect access to larger manufacturing networks.
- Amid geopolitical conflicts in 2025, the Big Four — China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia — will continue to pursue their geopolitical goals through cyber espionage, disruption, and influence operations. Globally, organizations will face ongoing threats from ransomware, multifaceted extortion, and infostealer malware.
- We expect 2025 will usher in an intermediate stage of semi-autonomous security operations supported by AI tools. We also anticipate strong demand for practical, actionable guidance on cybersecurity and cloud security, including best practices for securing multicloud environments.
- We believe that healthcare will adopt more resilient systems that allow them to better operate core services safely, even when under attack, as ransomware attacks will potentially target critical production lines and supply chains for maximum impact.
- To stay ahead of these threats, organizations should prioritize a proactive, comprehensive approach to cybersecurity in 2025. Cloud-first solutions, robust identity and access management controls, and continuous threat monitoring and threat intelligence are key tools for defenders.
- The global landscape is witnessing a surge in operational resilience regulations, especially in the financial services sector. Operational resilience with a strong emphasis on cyber-resilience is poised to become a top priority for both boards of directors and regulators in 2025.
- This report also predicts that finding and fixing insecure software will get easier with Generative AI while new ways to address security professional liability will emerge as organizations have challenges attracting and retaining top talent.
- Based on feedback from security field teams in 2024, there will be strong demand for practical examples and industry-specific security guidance, especially for AI. Threat Intelligence news reveals that incorporating application security expertise will enable organizations to better simulate the tactics and techniques of modern adversaries.
