Senior Vice President of U. S. Public Sector expects international adversaries in 2025 to to attack critical infrastructure, government systems and vital industries, making it vital, more than ever, for the U. S. and its allies to increase cyber defenses to counteract state-sponsored cyber activities.
Using AI to Bolster Cybersecurity
Trexler made this prediction in a blog post published Wednesday, where he noted that security efforts themselves, especially on the part of federal agencies, will increasingly require the use of AI, robotics and human-machine pairing in light of evolving threats, more sophisticated IT setups and potentially fewer resources, including labor.
Benefits to Government Personnel
Federal government employees would be able to provide public services more efficiently with the aid of AI, and they would be able to spot and respond to threats more quickly. Without the assistance of AI, Trexler believes that employees would be weighed down by data and suffer from security bottlenecks. Additionally, they are most likely to be upset and choose to work elsewhere.
Increasing the Trust in AI
Despite the advantages that AI offers, the technology still has risks and unintended consequences. Trexler notes that countries are increasingly rejoicing on the need to promote AI security to maximize the technology’s beneficial effects. The global alignment on security controls, which would increase trust in AI systems, is anticipated to increase in the 2025 range, according to the Palo Alto Networks SVP.
These security imperatives, in general, support Secure AI by Design concepts that, while still in development, will significantly disrupt the private sector. Secure your AI systems or risk the assuredness of the systems themselves”, Trexler said.
