Why Gartner's Hype Cycle Recognition Signals the End of Legacy Cyber GRC Tools
CyberSaint, Wednesday, July 30th, 2025
The cybersecurity and risk management landscape is evolving at an unprecedented rate. As digital transformation accelerates, regulatory demands multiply, and threats become increasingly sophisticated, organizations can no longer afford to rely on outdated approaches to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC).
The 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Cyber Risk Management confirms this shift, discussing Cyber GRC as a critical innovation area and naming CyberSaint as a recognized vendor.
At CyberSaint, we feel that this is more than recognition - it's a clear signal: legacy GRC tools are no longer fit for purpose. The future belongs to Cyber GRC.
This frustration isn't unique; it's systemic. As Gartner notes in the 2025 Hype Cycle, 'The need for a comprehensive, strategic approach to robust cybersecurity controls and measures has become more crucial than ever as businesses increasingly leverage digital technologies across various functions, expanding the potential cyberattack surface.'
