Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has released its 2025 Cybersecurity Outlook, highlighting key focus areas for organizations to prepare for the evolving cyber threat landscape. The report emphasizes the need for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity investments and adapt to emerging trends, such as generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), cloud security, and supply chain resilience. The report outlines seven key areas of focus:
1. GenAI’s influence on cybersecurity, which will lead to the use of GenAI-powered threat detection and response systems.
2. Cloud security, with a focus on encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring for multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
3. Elastic supply chains, which will require organizations to develop proactive strategies to adapt to changing geopolitics and partner ecosystems.
4. Secure by design, with a focus on securing new business models, such as IoT devices and connected factories.
5. Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA), which will enable zero-trust security and end-to-end security automation.
6. “Automation-first” approach to Managed Detection and Response (MDR), combining various security components to detect and respond to emerging threats.
7. Cyber resilience, which will require organizations to focus on regular backups, incident response plans, and business continuity measures.
TCS’s report emphasizes the need for organizations to develop a robust and proactive cyber resilience strategy to address the increasing complexity of cyber threats. With over 16,000 cybersecurity professionals on its roster, TCS offers a range of services, including consulting, implementation, and managed security services to help organizations protect their digital estate and improve their security posture.
