What I learned this week

TL;DR

• Happy new year to everyone! Wishing you a successful, healthy, fun and loving 2025!

• As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, so too must our strategies for navigating it. The dawn of 2025 brings both familiar challenges and emerging threats, underscored by rapid advancements in AI, quantum computing, and increasingly complex supply chains.

• While Christmas was not disrupted by major cyber events (I still remember that eventful Christmas we all had during Log4j 😉 ), the landscape hasn’t changed since 2024. The news feed is full of vulnerabilities, nation-state attacks, cybercrime activities, etc. I was reading a post by Ross Haleliuk on LinkedIn, which provided some good perspective. The cybersecurity world (and AI) is no exception; perfection is the enemy of good. You don’t need to be perfect in everything to be in a good position from a cyber perspective. Some companies even get away with, so to speak, murder from a cyber perspective with really bad practices, but they never seem to be significantly impacted... somehow. That’s something I want to keep in mind this year, as I think being able to take that step back is important!
