The 2025 RSA Conference Confirmed Our Fears
5 Cybersecurity Threats to Watch Out For
The 2025 RSA Conference confirmed what we have been telling our customers for years: the cybersecurity landscape continues to change rapidly, and businesses that aren’t paying attention risk getting left behind, or worse, getting breached.
At Nevtec, we keep a close eye on the biggest shifts, so you don’t have to. Here’s a quick breakdown of five emerging threats every business should be preparing for, starting now.
1. AI-Powered Phishing Attacks
Phishing isn’t new — but thanks to AI, it’s gotten a terrifying upgrade. Cybercriminals are now using generative AI to craft incredibly convincing emails, texts, and even voice messages that are nearly impossible to distinguish from the real thing.
Tip: Businesses must invest in updated security awareness training with specific real-world tips, such as recognizing AI-generated voicemails. Additionally, smarter email security tools that can detect AI-driven threats are essential.
2. Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) Gets Smarter
Ransomware groups are now operating like professional tech companies, offering “plug-and-play” ransomware kits to amateurs. Some even include customer service hotlines for victims!
Tip: Antivirus and Endpoint Detection software alone is not good enough anymore. You need expert people combined with good security software. We put our clients on 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and solid Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution, which are more critical than ever to prevent and recover from attacks.
3. Supply Chain Cyberattacks on the Rise
It’s no longer just about protecting your own network. Hackers are increasingly targeting vendors, software providers, and third-party services to slip into business systems unnoticed.
Tip: Businesses should vet vendors carefully and ensure they have proper cybersecurity measures in place — and not just assume they’re protected.
4. Cloud Misconfigurations
As more companies move to the cloud (especially hybrid models), simple configuration errors have opened the door to massive breaches.
Tip: Working with experienced MSPs like Nevtec ensures your cloud infrastructure is properly configured and continuously monitored for vulnerabilities.
5. Deepfakes and Identity Theft
With AI-generated deepfakes becoming more realistic, cybercriminals are using fake videos, audio, and images to impersonate executives and authorize fraudulent transactions.
Tip: Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) everywhere (not just email), including in front of your applications, and establish internal protocols to verify major requests manually. Consider leaving shorter voicemails with less information so they can’t copy your voice.
Bottom Line
The threats are getting more sophisticated — but so are the defenses. With the right partners, proactive security strategies, and smarter tools, your business can stay protected and ahead of the curve. If you think your business may be at risk to a cyber breach, please reach out to us HERE.
