What are the key cybersecurity trends highlighted at RSAC 2025?
The RSA Conference 2025 showcased several key trends in cybersecurity, including the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI), the acceleration of platformization, the integration of security directly into data management systems, and the need for enhanced protection of operational technology (OT) and industrial edge environments.
How is AI impacting cybersecurity?
AI is reshaping cybersecurity by acting as a protector, a protected asset, and a potential weapon in the hands of cybercriminals. Organizations are deploying 'agentic AI' systems that can operate independently, which introduces new security risks. At the same time, AI is essential for security teams to analyze vast amounts of data and respond to threats at a scale that human analysts cannot match.
What is platformization in cybersecurity?
Platformization refers to the trend of integrating multiple security functions into a single interface, akin to a digital superstore for cybersecurity. This approach simplifies management, enhances threat detection through better tool communication, reduces costs via consolidated licensing, and improves incident response times, allowing organizations to better protect their digital assets.
