Even if you’ve taken steps to ensure your business is protected against cyber threats, you can never really get too comfortable. Technology keeps evolving at a dizzying pace, and staying secure requires cybersecurity shifts for your business.

So, if you’re like most business owners, there’s always going to be that lingering doubt that you haven’t done everything you can to protect yourself.

Here’s what’s coming in 2025 that you need to know about so you can prepare accordingly.

Next Year’s Top Cybersecurity Shifts

• AI-powered attacks will become more sophisticated: Checking for bad grammar used to be enough to identify scam emails. But now, cybercriminals are using AI to come up with attacks that can fool even the most careful employees. We’ve seen more than one client almost lose thousands of dollars in scams involving AI-generated voice clones of their CEOs asking for urgent wire transfers.  

• Cloud security will be in the spotlight: More and more businesses are moving to the cloud. And as you might expect, hackers are following the money. Are your cloud applications truly secure? You might be about to find out the hard way. Start making your cybersecurity shift now

• Zero trust will become the norm: Zero trust has largely been an additional security measure reserved for situations where high-level security is needed, but now it’s going to become the standard. A strong password is no longer enough; every access request should require additional verification every single time.

What happens if you overlook these cybersecurity shifts?

Well, if you’re lucky, it might just cost you some money.  

But let’s be real: today’s cybercriminals are going all in. A small business cyber attack can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, and more than half of the victims will end up closing their doors for good within six months of an incident.

Yes, it’s a lot to process. But you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Trust the experts

Working with a managed service provider (MSP) can make all the difference. Instead of trying to stay on top of every new threat, you’ll have a team of experts who are always on top of it. They’ll be monitoring your systems around the clock, updating your defenses, and advising you on making necessary cybersecurity shifts if needed.

Don’t spend your weekends researching the latest cybersecurity shifts and solutions. Leave it in the hands of the pros while you enjoy time with your family, safe in the knowledge that your business is protected.
