Gartner's Top Trends in Cybersecurity for 2025

To enhance cybersecurity efforts, security and risk management (SRM) leaders are frequently encouraged to leverage generative AI (GenAI) in collaboration with business stakeholders. Investing in third-party risk management, strengthening identity security, and continuous monitoring of digital environments can help harden an organization’s defenses.

But how can SRM leaders balance the opportunities presented by generative AI with the challenges of evolving security risks and regulations?

According to Gartner, focus should be on optimizing for two things: Resilience and Performance.

Key highlights to consider are:

• Aligning security governance with business objectives
• Fostering a human-centric security culture
• Using outcome-driven metrics to improve cybersecurity communication and decision-making
• Prioritize resilience through continuous threat exposure management and adapt to increasing regulatory pressures and decentralization of digital capabilities
