Gartner -- gartner[.]com -- an S&P 500 biz intelligence firm, released their cybersecurity predictions for the next few years.
Gartner analysts predicted weaponized OT environments will result in human casualties by 2025 due to malware that they believe will spread at "wirespeeds." The analysts say by that time, cybercriminals will shift from business disruption to physical harm, leading to regulations placing liability on CEOs.
For 2023, Gartner expects 75% of the world to be covered under some kind of privacy law with built-in subject rights requests and consent.
By 2024, Gartner said it believes organizations adopting a cybersecurity mesh architecture will reduce the financial impact of security incidents by an average of 90%.
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.
