The cyber security landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with new challenges and opportunities shaping how organisations protect themselves. Integrity360’s latest Cyber Security Trends & Predictions 2025 report provides a look into what’s ahead, helping organisations understand emerging threats, leverage new technologies, and maintain resilience.

The recently discovered vulnerabilities in Veeam Service Provider Console, tracked as CVE-2024-42448 and CVE-2024-42449, have been classified as critical and high severity. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could severely undermine system integrity and operational security, jeopardising sensitive data and backup operations.

The surge in cyber threats over the past decade has made it necessary for companies to actively safeguard their systems and data. One of the proactive strategies used in this context is penetration testing, also known as 'pen testing' or ethical hacking.

It’s that time of the year again when shoppers get ready to take advantage of the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. It’s also the time of the year when cyber criminals seek to take advantage of those bargain hunters.

In today’s digital-first world, adopting artificial intelligence (AI) brings remarkable benefits, but it also introduces significant cyber security and compliance risks. To help mitigate these risks and align with AI governance best practices, a comprehensive AI risk assessment is crucial. This strategic approach not only enhances cyber resilience but also ensures your organisation meets regulatory compliance standards like GDPR, NIS2, and DORA. Here’s how your company can implement an effective AI risk assessment framework to secure a leading position in ethical AI adoption and risk management.

Organisations worldwide are increasingly turning to AI-driven solutions like Darktrace to defend their digital environments. Darktrace’s autonomous response technology is renowned for its ability to detect anomalies and respond to cyber threats in real time. However, the platform’s full potential often goes underutilised. Many organisations face challenges in configuring, optimising, and maintaining their Darktrace environments to deliver peak security. This is where Integrity360 steps in.

The  cyber security skills gap has long plagued the industry, and new data from Hiscox shows it's only worsening. As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, security teams face mounting pressures to keep up. In a report published in late October 2024, Hiscox revealed that over a third of UK businesses lack the expertise needed to manage evolving cyber risks. Shockingly, 34% of these businesses feel unprepared for cyber-attacks, while a significant 70% reported a surge in attacks this year alone.

AI adoption is transforming business practices across industries—from financial analysis to software engineering. Enterprises that strategically embrace this technology will gain a significant competitive advantage.
