Discover How to Stay Secure in 2025 with Teneo

In a recent webinar, Gartner unveiled its Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2025*, which all focus on the concept of ‘Responsible Innovation’. They break this down across three pivotal themes: AI Imperatives and Risks, New Frontiers of Computing, and Human-Machine Synergy.  

Within these themes, trends such as ‘Bring Your Own AI’ (BYOAI), ‘Disinformation Security’, and ‘Post-Quantum Cryptography’ have emerged, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities.  

As these trends reshape the technology landscape, organizations must adapt to mitigate risks and harness new opportunities. Partnering with experienced experts like Teneo can help businesses navigate these complexities, ensuring they stay secure, agile, and prepared for the future. 

AI Imperatives and Risks: Navigating BYOAI 

The proliferation of AI tools has led to the BYOAI phenomenon, where employees integrate personal AI applications into their workflows. While this can enhance productivity, it also introduces significant security risks, including data breaches and compliance issues, with AI becoming the next ‘shadow IT’. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 60% of individuals will utilize their own AI tools, outpacing enterprise solutions.  

Teneo addresses these challenges by offering advanced security solutions that leverage deep learning and behavioral AI to proactively identify and mitigate threats associated with unauthorized AI applications within the AI TRiSM Framework.  

Our Defense in Depth model provides continuous vulnerability scanning, ensuring organizations can detect and respond to potential security gaps introduced by BYOAI practices.  

New Frontiers of Computing: Embracing Post-Quantum Cryptography 

As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic methods face potential obsolescence, necessitating the adoption of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Gartner highlights PQC as a critical trend for 2025, emphasizing the need for cryptographic methods resilient against quantum threats.  

Teneo’s cybersecurity strategies are aligned with these developments, integrating AI and machine learning to create adaptive security environments capable of defending against both AI-driven and quantum computing threats.  

By partnering with Teneo, organizations can proactively transition to PQC, safeguarding their data and communications against future vulnerabilities. 

Human-Machine Synergy: Combating Disinformation 

The rise of sophisticated AI-generated content has exacerbated the spread of disinformation, posing threats to brand integrity and public trust. Gartner identifies ‘Disinformation Security’ as a multifaceted challenge requiring collaboration across various organizational departments.  

Teneo offers Resilience & Intelligence cybersecurity services and best practice guidance to address these challenges, helping organizations develop strategies to counteract disinformation and protect their reputation.  

By leveraging AI-driven monitoring and analysis, Teneo enables businesses to detect and respond to disinformation campaigns effectively, ensuring the integrity of their brand and communications. 

The technological landscape of 2025 presents both unprecedented opportunities and complex security challenges. The trends identified by Gartner require organizations to adopt proactive and adaptive security measures. Collaborating with specialized partners like Teneo can provide the expertise and advanced solutions necessary to navigate these challenges, ensuring that innovation remains responsible and secure.
