What are Security Leaders Prioritising in 2025?

It’s no secret that security leaders in 2025 are confronting an unprecedented level of cybersecurity challenges across multiple fronts, defined by their unprecedented complexity and pressure.

Whether it’s striving to meet new and enforceable regulatory practices, working to fortify supply chain practices, or trying to get ahead of AI threats, the cybersecurity world finds itself in a period of both immense pressure and, more excitingly, infinite potential.

With security leaders at the beating heart of this exciting new chapter, they must both defend against current threats whilst enabling digital transformation initiatives. They’re under pressure to demonstrate measurable security outcomes, optimise programme performance, and build organisational resilience- all within constrained budgets and regulatory frameworks that continue to acceleratingly change.

This paper will outline five of the most significant cybersecurity measures prioritised by leaders in 2025, and how they have come to the forefront of proactive cybersecurity to revolutionise existing approaches to threat defence.
