Top Tech Trends 2025 Part 3 – Cybersecurity Measures

$26 million globally, that’s how much money is predicted to cost industries in 2025, due to cybersecurity disruptions. It’s an intimidating figure, that poses a real issue for everyone world-wide. Professionally, financially, and socially, we encounter cybersecurity measures every day, and breaches can bankrupt organisations of each of these fronts.

2025

Getting to the front of the cyber landscape is going to be massively important this year.  

It’s going to take a lot of energy, keeping up with growth and security, but there are risks that we should all be minimising. Spending time to meeting new and sophisticated standards are the best way to do it.

We’ve seen several high profile cyber breaches over the previous years, and in the UK healthcare sector alone there have been 215 ransomware incidents reported between January 2019, and June 2024.

2025 will see an evolution of cyber threats, and so our cybersecurity measures need to evolve too.

Examples

Let’s look at the Digital Operational Resilience Act, or DORA. It’s an EU wide standard that comes into effect in January 2025, and it will standardise the way financial institutions operate cybersecurity measures across the continent. It’s going to change the way we all interact with customers in the EU.

It also means that more is being expected of organisations in the way they secure themselves. Weak points need to be identified quickly, minimised, and secured. We’ll need to take part in accessible, but safe, reporting systems, and above keep data protected. It’s a 2025 goal to keep incidents small, infrequent, and resolved quickly.

What to do next

And with other trends set to make an impact in 2025, we’ve created resources to understand GenAI, and Data Investment, both of which will play an important role in the upcoming year. It’s more important than every to reinforce the protections around our businesses, and a quick conversation with our experts at Getronics will mean that we can guide you to prepare for the future, today.
