Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that global cybercrime damages will reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. This staggering figure highlights the urgent need for enhanced defenses against ransomware, phishing attacks, and emerging threats like deepfake-based fraud.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are revolutionizing cybersecurity. On the one hand, AI-powered tools enable faster threat detection, real-time incident response, and predictive analytics. Tools like machine learning-driven intrusion detection systems can identify anomalies with unprecedented accuracy, helping organizations mitigate risks before they escalate.
However, cybercriminals are also leveraging AI. Deepfake technology, for instance, is being used to create convincing phishing scams and identity theft. In 2025, experts are predicting a sharp rise in AI-driven attacks, challenging defenders to innovate even faster.
The double-edged sword of AI is one of five cybersecurity predictions for what’s next in cybersecurity this year.
