How are businesses preparing for the evolving threats and challenges in the world of cybersecurity? In today’s episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Dominik Samociuk, Head of Security at Future Processing, a technology consultancy and software delivery partner with over two decades of experience. 

Together, we explore the current state of cybersecurity and dive into predictions for 2025, focusing on emerging threats, regulatory changes, and the critical importance of cyber resilience.

Dominik shares insights into the rise of AI-driven attacks, including deepfakes and automated phishing campaigns, which are increasing in sophistication and volume. These threats are forcing organizations to rethink their strategies, moving beyond prevention to comprehensive approaches that include detection, response, and recovery. We also discuss how businesses can strengthen their defenses through zero-trust architecture, third-party risk management, and enhanced employee training—especially as the human factor remains one of the most vulnerable aspects of cybersecurity.

Regulatory changes, such as the NIS2 Directive, DORA, and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act, are also driving a shift in how organizations approach security. Dominik explains how businesses can align with these evolving requirements by conducting regular gap analyses, automating compliance processes, and leveraging frameworks like ISO 27001 and NIST.

Data privacy in the era of AI is another key focus of our discussion. Dominik outlines the steps businesses must take to classify and protect sensitive data, ensure transparency with stakeholders, and build robust incident response plans. Additionally, we delve into the importance of embedding security practices throughout the development lifecycle and the role of open-source intelligence in identifying vulnerabilities and emerging threats.

Whether you’re looking to stay ahead of cyber threats or understand how regulatory changes will impact your organization, this episode provides actionable insights to navigate the complexities of modern cybersecurity.
