Netwrix Research Lab: What to Expect in Cybersecurity in 2025 and How Our Previous Predictions Fared

Published

Key trends for 2025 involve AI adoption, social engineering attacks and compliance challenges.

FRISCO, Texas, Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Netwrix, a vendor that delivers effective and accessible cybersecurity to any organization, today released key IT security trends predicted to affect organizations of all sizes in 2025.

Ilia Sotnikov, Security Strategist at Netwrix, shares three trends expected in the coming year:

AI will enhance business operations, but security basics will remain crucial. In 2025, organizations will embrace AI-powered solutions across different business functions to increase productivity and speed decision-making. This new technology stack creates new attack surfaces and exposes organizations to previously unknown threats. To mitigate these new risks, security teams must adapt existing processes and controls, such as data access governance, privileged access management, and activity monitoring.

Social engineering attacks will become more sophisticated. Malicious actors will bombard organizations with highly effective spear phishing, business email compromise campaigns, deepfake voice and video calls, and other attacks, fueled by information taken from massive corporate data leaks and social media and analyzed and correlated using new technologies. To reduce risk, organizations should require identity verification of all individuals participating in financial transactions using strategies like tokens, authenticators or secret codewords.

Compliance will become more complex. New cybersecurity regulations like the US National Cybersecurity Strategy, NIS2, and the Cyber Solidarity Act will make third-party cyber risk management increasingly important, especially for organizations with an international footprint or supply chain. Instead of viewing compliance as a tick-the-boxes exercise, organizations should understand that it demands a solid security architecture that aligns business and security processes.

Checking in the rear-view mirror, Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix, found that some key predictions from previous years were quite prescient:

Cyber insurance requirements tightened, as expected in 2023. The percentage of organizations that had to enhance their security posture to meet their insurer’s requirements increased from 22% in 2023 to 30% in 2024, according to Netwrix research. Moreover, insurers are now demanding quarterly or semi-annual assessments to ensure steady improvement of security practices. In addition, some of them are extending coverage to risks like data poisoning and inadvertent copyright infringement in AI model training, which were unimaginable just a few years ago.

Supply chain attacks are on the rise, as anticipated in 2022. Moreover, they have a longer tail; for example, 18 months after the MOVEit vulnerability exploitation in 2023, stolen data from multiple new victims appeared on the dark web. Core defense best practices include strictly limiting the access granted to external personnel, closely monitoring for suspicious behavior, and implementing comprehensive change management with file integrity monitoring (FIM) to spot altered software.

“As cyber threats become more sophisticated in 2025, regular cybersecurity awareness training for business users will become even more important,” says Dirk Schrader. “However, organizations should not depend upon that training to thwart all attacks. Instead, they should adopt a Zero Trust model based on least privilege, which will dramatically reduce their attack surface while facilitating regulatory compliance.”

PARIS, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — It is with deep sadness that iM Global Partner (iMGP) announces the passing, one month ago, of our dear friend and colleague, Philippe Uzan.

 

 

Philippe’s exceptional career in asset management spanned more than 30 years and is marked by remarkable achievements in the organizations for which he worked and deep contributions to the industry as a whole. His passing is a tremendous loss to all who knew and worked with him.

Philippe joined iM Global Partner in February 2020 as Deputy CEO and CIO Global Asset Management, responsible for overseeing our financial strategies and products and designing value-added investment solutions for our clients across Europe and the United States.

His expertise spanned all asset classes, and he had a deep understanding of markets and their impact on investors and their investment needs. He was an eloquent man who contributed a number of papers and articles to the media, always with the intention of educating and making financial concepts more relatable. He has left an indelible mark on our organization and on the broader industry.

Prior to joining iM Global Partner, Philippe was latterly Chief Investment Officer at Edmond De Rothschild Asset Management, where he worked for 11 years and where he led the portfolio management teams, optimizing the synergies between analysis and portfolio management. He previously spent three years as Research and Global Asset Allocation Director, where he developed the portfolio management and research teams and modernized investment processes and the product range.

Philippe began his career as an Equity Derivatives Trader at Société Générale and held roles at AGF Asset Management (now part of Allianz Global Investors) and Natixis AM.

Throughout his career, Philippe’s outstanding intelligence, humility, and collaborative spirit earned him the respect and admiration of his peers.

Philippe Couvrecelle, Founder and CEO of iM Global Partner, expressed his heartfelt condolences: “It was with infinite sadness and pain that I learned of Philippe’s passing from a devastating illness. I had known Philippe closely for almost 20 years, as we worked together for Natixis, Edmond de Rothschild and iMGP. I pay immense tribute to his humanity, his sense of humor, his brilliant intelligence and his presence, which I will deeply miss. We had shared so much and still had so much to do together. In his memory, we will continue our path forward with strength, success and intensity, always preserving our values and our company culture to which he was so attached.

We will all miss Philippe enormously at iM Global Partner. He will be remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for his warmth, generosity, kindness and his unwavering dedication to his colleagues and community. Our thoughts are with his wife and three children, his family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time.”
