2025 Update
This 2025 Playbook Update by Peter Coroneos highlights the escalating threats in cybersecurity, with 2024 again witnessing increased ransomware, healthcare breaches, and large-scale data thefts like T Mobile in the US and Telstra in Australia. Regulatory responses in the US, UK, and Australia focus on critical infrastructure protection, liability enforcement, and incident reporting. Emerging threats include AI-powered cyberattacks, ransomware evolution, and attacks on critical infrastructure. The update concludes with an emphasis on the human factor in breaches and the mental health crisis in cybersecurity teams. It mentions the work of not-for-profit community services organisation, Cybermindz, established by the author in 2022, to address burnout, reduce skills loss and support mental resilience in cyber professionals.
