2025 Cybersecurity Trends: Emerging Threats and the Role of Managed Security Services

In 2025, businesses must adapt to a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. Here are the top trends to watch: 

• Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs):
  MSSPs are essential for companies struggling with cybersecurity skills gaps, providing 24/7 security expertise and reducing costs by shifting from CapEx to OpEx. 

• AI and Cybersecurity:
  Generative AI (GenAI) is both a solution and a risk, as it can improve threat detection but also increase the attack surface. 78% of security leaders say AI has raised their risk exposure. 

• Rising Cybercrime Costs:
  Cybercrime costs are expected to rise from $9.22 trillion in 2024 to $13.82 trillion by 2028, driven by data breaches and class-action lawsuits. 

• Top Threats for 2025:
  Cloud security, sophisticated ransomware, supply chain attacks, and third-party breaches are major concerns for security leaders.
