Cybersecurity may seem complex, but it boils down to consistent implementation of best practices. Disabling unnecessary services, securing cloud configurations, enforcing MFA, training employees, and adopting a proactive security mindset are crucial steps to safeguarding your business. In 2025, prioritize these basics to significantly reduce your exposure to threats and maintain trust with your clients and partners.

The increasing adoption of generative artificial intelligence platforms by threat actors, cyber defenders, and the average organization will present enterprises with an unprecedented number of cybersecurity issues in the coming years, according to a new Gartner report and information from Trustwave subject matter experts.

We’ve asked Outpost24’s CISO, Martin Jartelius, what 2025 is likely to hold for organizations using attack surface management (ASM) tools. Here’s what Martin had to say about what he predicts for ASM in 2025, as well as some thought on how the CISOs role might change.

It’s 10:47 PM, and I’m halfway through binge-watching the latest must-see series when my phone buzzes. A notification from SecurityScorecard has my attention instantly: one of our critical vendors has just reported a breach. I hit pause, grab my laptop, and dive straight in. As much as I’d love to ignore it for a few hours, cyber risks don’t come with snooze buttons. Before panic sets in, I’m logging into the SecurityScorecard platform.

If you are like many CISOs, you feel pressure to increase the value of your security testing budget. And if you are one of the 53% of enterprises reporting stagnant or decreasing budgets in 2024, you have even more work cut out for you. Increasing testing value requires a re-evaluation of nearly everything. Tackle tool sprawl. Optimize workflows. Reduce false positives. Review cloud spend. All while demonstrating ROI even in the absence of incidents. This post is about ways to reach these goals.
