Your board is searching for trusted sources about cybersecurity? They struggle to navigate the complexity of cybersecurity? We at CxO believe leaders must adopt a security-first mindset.
The cyber threat landscape in 2025 will be shaped by increasingly sophisticated attacks, with ransomware, social engineering and AI-powered cybercrime remaining top concerns, according to the World Economic Forum’s latest Global Cybersecurity Outlook.
Data breaches continued at historic levels in 2024, with 3,158 data compromises tracked by the Identity Theft Resource Center – on par with the previous record-breaking year. However, victim notices surged 211% to 1.3 billion, but this was largely due to five mega-breaches, each triggering over 100 million notices.
The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025, written in collaboration with Accenture, examines the cybersecurity trends that will affect economies and societies in the year to come. The report explores major findings and puts a spotlight on the complexity of the cybersecurity landscape, which is intensified by geopolitical tensions, emerging technologies, supply chain interdependencies and cybercrime sophistication.
We at the editorial staff of CxO Magazine consider this report as a ‘must read’ for boards.
