What's Hot in Cybersecurity in 2025 - expert panel

Cybersecurity is evolving faster than ever, and 2025 is shaping up to be a year of significant challenges and opportunities. From the increasing influence of geopolitical cyber threats to the expanding role of AI in security, organizations and individuals alike must stay ahead of emerging risks. In our latest webinar, we gathered three leading cybersecurity experts—Kendra, Izzy, and Erica—to discuss the hottest trends shaping the industry this year.

Throughout this fast-paced and engaging discussion, we explored state-based cyber threats from actors like Russia, China, and North Korea, the growing risks associated with AI-powered scams, and how security teams can cut through the noise to focus on foundational best practices. We also tackled key questions from the audience, including how New Zealand is faring in cybersecurity readiness, the state of regulatory reform, and the practical steps businesses can take to improve their cyber resilience.
