In line with a threat panorama that changes continuously, the main cybersecurity trends of Gartner by 2025 extend from the impact of generative AI to technological optimization, exhaustion, machine management identities and the scarcity of ongoing talents. Read about the six cybersecurity trends of the company for this year.
1. The Genai increase will transform data security programs.
The organizational approach is changing to prioritize the protection of unstructured data, such as text, images and video. Previously, safety and financial resources have focused on protecting structured data, such as databases.
2. The management of machine identities becomes the entire company.
There is a general use of machine and credential accounts for physical devices and software workload, thanks to the growing adoption of AI; This expands the attack surface of an organization. Consequently, leaders should not only develop a strategy to implement a solid identity and access management of the machine (IAM), but ensure that it is a coordinated effort throughout the company.
Similarly, IGA status report from Zilla Security State He discovered that identity governance is broken. According to the report, 84% of organizations still depend on the processes of Government and Manual Identity Administration (IGA), leaving them vulnerable to attacks, inefficient and overwhelmed by the growing compliance demands.
3. The initiatives of AI will be prioritized.
The mixed results with IA implementations are promoting security leaders to focus on narrower use cases with more measurable impacts. As the implementations become more tactical, they will align with the practices and tools of AI with existing metrics on existing initiatives, to improve the visibility of the real value of AI investments.
4. Cybersecurity technology is optimized.
Organizations use an average of 45 cybersecurity tools, according to a 2024 Gartner survey of 162 large companies. With more than 3,000 suppliers in cybersecurity, leaders must consolidate and validate central security controls in their tools to build more efficient and effective security programs.
5. Genai provides value to security and security culture programs.
Effective leaders recognize the value of behavioral and security culture programs and the use of Genai to reduce cybersecurity incidents promoted by employees. Cultural and behavioral activities have increased to address the understanding of cyber risk, a strategic change towards the integration of security in organizational culture.

6. Investments in team’s well -being initiatives.
Security leadership and team exhaustion are key concerns for an industry already affected by what Gartner calls a shortage of systemic skills. This generalized stress is due to the implacable demands associated with obtaining highly complex organizations in constantly changing threats, regulatory and business environments, with limited authority, executive support and resources.
TO Blackfog 2024 Report He discovered that 24% of Ciso/Ti security decision makers want to leave their work for reasons that include long hours and stress on the use of AI to launch cyber attacks. As a result, it will become a priority to recognize and address stress management between leaders and their teams, Gartner said.
