From Cybersecurity Consolidation To GenAI And Innovation - What To Expect: 2025 Predictions
Security Boulevard, Friday, January 10th, 2025
Expect a Darwinian consolidation in the security software industry next year and beyond, that will help clarify long-term survivors and thrivers who will finally do what's needed to solve the alert fatigue problem. 
Security analysts will continue to be overwhelmed with too many threat detection alerts, many of which are false positives. They won't have the resources or expertise to either work all the alerts, effectively prioritize alerts by the degree of risk, or easily discern what is critical. Add it will only get worse. In 2025, the number of tool types in cybersecurity will continue to increase.
While a stopgap may include adding an 'AI' tag as a solution, real answers will arrive from automating contextual awareness of activities that corroborate security relevancy. By aligning risk mitigation across each attack surface to appropriate investment levels, security analysts may finally get some sleep.
