Cybersecurity Week 2025

Relentless cyberattacks and the AI explosion are continuing to shake up the cybersecurity sector in 2025 — prompting organizations of all sizes to increasingly depend upon solution and service providers for assistance. For CRN’s Cybersecurity Week 2025, we’ve assembled a series of posts showcasing the latest advancements from partner-friendly vendors and highlighting major emerging risks in cyberse defense.

If anything, the threat landscape has only intensified in 2025 with ransomware attacks continuing to cause widespread disruption and surging data theft and extortion campaigns targeting organizations large and small. At the same time, the rapid expansion of GenAI and agentic tools has led to an array of new security challenges and threats, forcing many organizations to get more proactive on security to enable productivity gains from increased AI usage.

With these themes as a backdrop for Cybersecurity Week 2025, we’ll be tracking how top MDR (managed detection and response) vendors are advancing their platforms; how AI security startups are bringing widely sought after innovation; how major M&A deals are reshaping the cybersecurity industry; and where to look for next-generation data security capabilities from leading players.

We’ll also be taking a deep dive into what’s coming next for cybersecurity with the predicted arrival of quantum computing and the coming industry-wide shift to “quantum-resistant” encryption.
