BACKGROUND:
Gartner Analysts released their list of cybersecurity and privacy predictions for the next few years, floating a number of potential ideas about how the world will respond to certain problems over the next decade.
Security will begin to play a bigger role in public policy as well by 2025, with Gartner expecting at least 30% of the world’s nations to pass some form of legislation around ransomware. Gartner also expects more regulation centered around ransomware payments as well as fines and negotiations. Cybersecurity will even become a priority for boards, with Gartner adding that by 2025, 40% of boards will have dedicated cyber committees or at least one qualified board member overseeing cybersecurity.
