Top 10 Cybersecurity, Cybercrime, Cyber Law and AI Predictions for 2025

GENEVA - Dec. 6, 2024 - PRLog -- After the successful launch of its Global Internet Security Statistics Center in November, ImmuniWeb's cybersecurity experts and engineers, who currently serve over 1,000 enterprise customers from more than 50 countries, compiled their predictions for 2025 based on the firsthand practical experience over many years.

1. More software will contain vulnerabilities or even backdoors because of AI assistants

With the rapid proliferation of AI-enabled coding assistants for software developers, as well as the uncontrolled use of AI-powered chatbots by software engineers to debug or fix their source code or Infrastructure-as-a-Code (IaaC), we should expect a snowballing quantity of AI-created vulnerabilities or even backdoors.

2. Human error and vulnerable third parties will be among root causes of data breaches

Progressive and oftentimes hasty migration to a multicloud environment, without appropriate training of both the users and IT professionals, will exacerbate the already disastrous state of cloud misconfigurations, impacting most IaaS, PaaS and SaaS cloud service providers.

3. Cybersecurity professionals with AI skills will be among most valued on the market

Industry professionals having advanced cybersecurity skills, as well as good understanding of how AI works with its inherent limits and risks, will have a strong competitive advantage on the market when hired to implement, audit and continually improve AI governance programs.

4. Highly complex and diversified attack surface will negate growing cybersecurity spending

Despite the globally growing spending on cybersecurity and cyber defense, the ultimate effect will likely be of a palliative nature, being unable to address the root causes of steadily growing data breaches.

5. Compliance fatigue will be a major trend amid mushrooming data protection laws

While lawmakers from many developed countries seem to enthusiastically compete with each other as to who will enact more laws in data protection and privacy, corporations start to realize that diligent compliance with every single law and regulation becomes excessively burdensome and economically impractical.
