To combat the growing threat of GenAI-powered cyberattacks, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) suggests using GenAI-powered systems to detect and respond to threats. This approach, known as “fighting fire with fire,” can help defend against threats such as deepfakes, phishing, and malware. TCS predicts that GenAI, cloud security, and supply chain resilience will be crucial for managing cybersecurity risks by 2025. To ensure effective cloud security, organizations must implement robust protocols such as encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring. Additionally, organizations transitioning to hybrid or multi-cloud environments must adapt their security measures to protect sensitive data.
TCS also highlights the importance of flexible and resilient supply chains, as well as the growing shift towards Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) and zero-trust security models. By 2026, large enterprises are expected to consolidate their security tools and adopt zero-trust methods. To achieve this, organizations will need integrated platforms to automate and orchestrate cybersecurity measures effectively. TCS anticipates a rise in the adoption of an “automation-first” approach to Managed Detection and Response (MDR) by Chief Security Officers (CSOs).
