Cybercrime is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, with global costs projected to surge from $10 trillion in 2025 to $13.82 trillion by 2028. AI, once the domain of science fiction, now redefines how both attackers and defenders operate in the digital world. As science fiction author Frank Schätzing states, "AI is no longer controlled by a small group. With the rise of generative AI, every individual has become a potential player – and that changes everything."
Drawing from recent insights, we have identified six critical trends shaping the cybersecurity landscape: the rapid evolution of AI-driven threats, the rise in multichannel attack strategies, and the growing reliance on third-party providers, among others. Highlights include:
• 91% of organisations anticipate an increase in AI-based cyberattacks within three years.
• 94% of organisations report a surge in multichannel attacks, combining email, social media, and other vectors to target vulnerabilities.
• 83% of firms have already experienced breaches stemming from personal devices or accounts.
This session offers a glimpse into these trends and their implications, revealing how organisations can prepare for emerging threats and ensure resilience against an increasingly sophisticated cybercrime ecosystem. Join us to explore actionable strategies and prepare for the future of cybersecurity.
