The landscape of connected vehicles is evolving at a breakneck pace. From software-defined vehicles (SDVs) to autonomous driving, the automotive industry has become a nexus for innovation and vulnerability. As Ran Ish-Shalom, Chief Product Officer at Argus Cyber Security, aptly stated during a recent session: Brian Carpenter from CyberArk reinforced this, emphasising the growing complexity of managing identities across both human and machine ecosystems.

As we embrace a connected world where machines have literal and figurative voices, we stand at the confluence of opportunity and responsibility. The IoT and OT landscape continues to evolve rapidly, bridging the physical and digital worlds. However, as Miguel Morales aptly highlighted during the Device Authority Virtual Summit 2024, the promise of IoT hinges on one critical factor: trust.

In the ever-evolving Kubernetes landscape, security remains a paramount concern.

The use of version control systems, continuous integration (CI), container services, and other tools in software development have enabled developers to ship code more quickly and efficiently. However, as organizations expand their build and packaging ecosystems, they also increase the number of entry points for malicious code injections that can ultimately make their way to production environments.

As 2024 comes to a close, we went around the room and asked some of Trustwave’s top executives what cybersecurity issues and technology they saw playing a prominent role in 2025. Over the next several weeks their thoughts will be posted here, so please read on and stay tuned! As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, its applications in cybersecurity will become more prominent and will spark conversations around its potential and its risks.
