Description
The CISO is the arbiter of confidence and protection for the business in a world of geopolitical strife and shifting allegiances; regulatory hurdles and changes to AI and tech; quickly emerging and changing technologies in generative AI (genAI); and constantly evolving cybercriminal activity, including deepfakes. In 2025, five threats will affect security teams more than any other: global regulatory disruptions, high-quality deepfakes, tech exuberance over genAI, job loss radicalization, and genAI-driven extortion. Security pros need to prepare in advance.
Key takeaways:
- Global regulatory disruptions: Data-related policies, regulations, and standards are becoming less aligned between domains and across countries.
- High-quality deepfakes: Attackers are increasingly using deepfakes because of their ability to cast doubt on security, trust in the media, and brand reputation. Deepfakes impact verification and authentication for almost every user group, including customers, business partners, and workforce members.
- Tech exuberance over genAI: Enterprise adoption of genAI continues to accelerate as models proliferate, training costs come down, and deployment options increase. But tech and security leaders are learning hard lessons about how different models behave — and the work required to make them secure — as new models emerge.
- Job loss radicalization: A new economic reality has emerged in 2025 with a flurry of activity that saw job cuts to 4% of the US federal government workforce, massive tech layoffs, and job cuts in Europe. Employees who remain after layoffs are not happy.
- GenAI-driven extortion: Between continued law enforcement disruption of ransomware gangs and enterprises’ greater focus on business resilience and data backups, ransomware became less lucrative for cybercriminals in 2024. Before genAI, stealing data was only so useful — reviewing millions of emails takes far too much time. Now, with genAI, attackers can perform a quick sentiment analysis on troves of stolen data for extortion schemes.

UPCOMING WEBINARSeptember 24th, 2025Organizations are moving quickly to embrace agentic AI for a myriad of use cases. Agentic AI, however, introduces cybersecurity challenges that traditional security frameworks and approaches can’t adequately address. Agentic technologies shift cybersecurity paradigms by promoting emergent behaviors to meet objectives, making it essential for security leaders to control intent at scale. As these technologies spread across organizations, establishing enterprise guardrails is critical for secure deployment.This webinar explores the unique cybersecurity challenges posed by agentic AI and strategies to effectively address them. The session will introduce Forrester’s AEGIS Framework, a comprehensive security model based on six domains: governance, identity and access management, data security, application security, threat management, and Zero Trust architecture principles. Attendees will learn best practices for securing agentic AI, emphasizing phased processes, human oversight, “least agency” principles, and dynamic security adjustments as AI systems evolve.Key takeaways: Why securing agentic AI is a challenge security teams must address nowHow the AEGIS framework helps security leaders secure agentic AIWhy intent is as important as outcomesWhat the core principles of securing agentic AI areHow to implement and mature AEGIS in a phased approachTarget audience level: intermediate
UPCOMING WEBINARSeptember 23rd, 2025Accelerate innovation with deeper insights about why Synthetic Data is important, when it will likely pay off, and how others are using it, featuring the latest expert insights, practical tips, and key steps you and your team can take with this rapidly evolving technology. Synthetic Data can potentially enable enriched datasets and imagery for AI training, enhance conversational AI and chatbots’ performance, and contribute to data augmentation for model creation. Join this session to learn more about how this technology will mature and steps you can take to maximize your investment in it. Key takeaways: Gain an understanding of how your peers are leveraging synthetic data. Identify the use-cases where synthetic data can deliver its best value. Learn about critical steps for successful implementation. Target audience level: all levels
