A new report from Ivanti showcases a growing concern among security leaders, predicting ransomware as the top threat for 2025, especially with the potential amplification of artificial intelligence. Alarmingly, only 29% of security professionals feel adequately prepared for these attacks, raising concerns about organizational readiness. The report highlights strong C-level involvement in cybersecurity, demonstrated by 89% of respondents acknowledging board-level discussions on the issue. However, data silos present significant obstacles, affecting threat visibility and response times, with over half of organizations experiencing detrimental impacts on their security posture.
Nearly 1 out of every 3 security professionals (38%) believe ransomware will become an even greater threat when powered by AI, indicating an urgent need for enhanced preparedness.
While 89% of respondents affirm that cybersecurity is prioritized at the board level, only 29% feel very prepared for potential ransomware attacks, exposing a significant preparedness gap.
The report emphasizes that despite growth in budgets, with 81% believing their finances are sufficient for 2025 goals, data silos severely undermine security efficacy and visibility.
C-level support for cybersecurity remains notably high, with 81% reporting the involvement of board members experienced in cyber-related issues, pointing to a strategic shift in governance.
