  1. In 2025, security budgets are expected to focus more on hiring skilled people than on buying security tools. Many tools don't really solve the security problems they claim to address.
  2. Artificial Intelligence is set to change the landscape of security tools, especially in outdated categories like data and application security. AI could help with understanding complex security issues better.
  3. The cybersecurity industry might see more companies staying private or being acquired instead of going public. The tough business environment is making IPOs less likely.
