We can’t tell the future—no one really can—but it is both possible and vital to make predictions based on present trends and current events. Let’s look forward to the rest of this year to see what predictions we can make for business IT and the notes we should all take over the next few months.
## Prediction: Proactive Security Will Be the Focus
As 2025 continues into 2026 and 2027, it is predicted that preemptive defenses will grow in popularity, rising by 65 percent over this time period. If this proves to be the case, these preemptive defense measures will have more swiftly become popularized than many others, such as endpoint detection and response and attack surface management.
So, what does this mean?
In short, adaptability and preparation will be essential for businesses of all sizes. After all, all companies are subject to attack, and attacks constantly shift their methodologies to bypass defenses. Therefore, replacing more reactive defense strategies with proactive protections will decrease the likelihood of a threat slipping through and interfering with business processes.
## Prediction: It May Be Worth Reconsidering EDR Tools
EDR—endpoint detection and response—has long been a foundational base of modern cybersecurity. That said, with more and more EDR tools being bypassed and many being consolidated, businesses are realizing that more protections are required to keep their data truly safe.
So, while a good EDR is not something to pass up by any means, it will be wise to invest in additional cybersecurity tools and strategies moving forward to create a fully diversified and comprehensive wall to protect yourself and your organization.
## Prediction: AI Will Complicate Security Even More
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being adopted, oftentimes without its many, many security implications being taken into account. This has already proved dangerous, adding to a threat surface that is already bloated by personal devices and potential IT mismanagement. Preemptive and proactive defenses paired with zero-trust principles will help create your safety net.
