World Economic Forum (February 2025). 3 Trends Shaping the Future of Cyber Leadership

Abstract:

This World Economic Forum thought piece (2025) presents three emerging developments that will influence how organizations structure and execute their cybersecurity strategies. The focus on evolving threats, cross-sector partnerships, and resilience echoes the discussions of the MIT Cybersecurity course module titled “What Everyone Needs to Know About Cybersecurity Threat Landscape,” which shows how technical solutions must be paired with robust governance and coordinated leadership. The WEF article breaks down how leadership roles are evolving in response to more sophisticated malicious actors and higher public expectations. Its emphasis on building accountability and transparency across an enterprise culture broaden the theoretical frameworks in the course, suggesting practical actions and mindsets for security professionals.
