What are the key cybersecurity trends highlighted at RSAC 2025?
The RSA Conference 2025 showcased several transformative trends in cybersecurity, including the increasing role of AI, the shift towards platformization, the integration of security directly into data management systems, and the need for enhanced protection of operational technology (OT) and industrial environments.
How is AI impacting cybersecurity?
AI is significantly impacting cybersecurity by serving three roles: as a protector, a protected entity, and a potential weapon for attackers. Organizations are deploying AI systems that can independently analyze data and make decisions, which introduces new security risks. Meanwhile, cybercriminals are using AI to enhance their attack strategies, making it essential for security teams to develop sophisticated AI defenses.
What is platformization in cybersecurity?
Platformization refers to the trend of integrating multiple security functions into a single interface, creating comprehensive cybersecurity platforms. This approach simplifies management, enhances threat detection through improved tool communication, reduces costs via consolidated licensing, and accelerates incident response, making it easier for organizations to protect their digital assets.
