Cycles That Drive Cybersecurity
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, June 17th, 2025
The cybersecurity industry moves fast! The attackers are constantly adapting and relentless in their pursuits that victimize others. New users are being added to the global online ecosystem. Services are hungry for data, which is rising in total value.
The result is more attacks and greater impacts. These detrimental effects shift consumers' expectations which in turn drive the slow gears of regulation. With greater public concern comes a willingness to spend money on solutions. This drives innovation and the advancement of cybersecurity defenses.
Having observed and participated in the cybersecurity field for over three decades, I first outlined this strategic cycle nearly 20 years ago. It has proven consistently true as an underlying engine that propels the cybersecurity industry forward.
