Darktrace Predicts 10 Cybersecurity Trends to Watch in 2025
Summary
Darktrace forecasts that AI agents, cybercrime growth, LLM supply-chain risks, faster vulnerability exploitation, insider threats, edge vulnerabilities, OT attacks, and space security will shape cybersecurity in 2025.
Key points
- Darktrace expects cybercrime to grow as AI and crime-as-a-service expand attackers’ capabilities.
- AI agents and multi-agent systems may create new risks, including prompt injection, data poisoning, privacy exposure, and manipulation.
- The company predicts attackers may adopt autonomous AI agents faster than defenders, while defenders explore them for incident response and vulnerability discovery.
- Growing reliance on synthetic training data could heighten supply-chain and data-poisoning risks for LLMs.
- Shorter time to exploit newly disclosed vulnerabilities will increase pressure on defenders to find, prioritize, and patch flaws quickly.
- Darktrace expects continued risks from insiders, compromised identities, exposed edge devices, and attacks on operational technology.
- The article anticipates greater focus on securing space systems as satellite infrastructure grows and cybersecurity requirements expand.
