A recent meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos underscored rising concerns about cybersecurity as evolving technologies like artificial intelligence add new dimensions to cyber threats. The Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 report, published on January 13, 2025, detailed how geopolitical tensions are fueling cyberattacks by state actors and criminals, leaving sectors such as healthcare, financial services, and energy particularly vulnerable.
Experts at the event stressed the urgent need for companies to adopt a proactive, zero trust approach to bolster cyber resilience.
