LevelBlueA service provider managed, strategic consulting and information consultancy, announced the launch of its term report in 2025: Cyber Resilience and Business Impact At the RSAC 2025 conference. Following the publication of the Blue level level inaugural level in 2024, this year’s report plunges into the characteristics of cyber-resilient organizations, evolving attack vectors and how managers are aligning commercial objectives and cybersecurity.
As artificial intelligence (AI) causes excitation and transformer potential, the report reveals that organizations are growing with innovations despite increased security problems. In fact, only 29% of the managers interviewed say they hesitate to implement AI tools and technologies due to cybersecurity ramifications.
Organizations expect the attacks fueled by AI, such as Deepfakes and synthetic identity attacks, increase in 2025, but many remain unprepared. The Blue level level level revealed that only 29% of leaders say they are prepared for threats powered by AI, despite almost half (42%) thinking that they will occur. In addition, approximately a third (32%) think that their organization is prepared for deep attacks, even if 44% await them. As technologies fueled by AI make the attacks more sophisticated, 59% of leaders say that it becomes more and more difficult for employees to identify real threats.
“In 2025, the AI forced organizations to rotate again,” said Theresa Lanowitz, Evangelist chief of LevelBlue. “Our research shows that leaders are increasingly aware of the threats they face and increases cyber-resilience measures accordingly. However, they still underestimate the potential risk of cyber attacks fueled by AI and have extensive work in advance to prepare and protect themselves properly. ”
Fortunately, the alignment of businesses and awareness of cyber-resilience have been a fundamental objective in the last 12 months, 45% of managers claiming that cyber-resilience is recognized as a priority of the company rather than a problem of cybersecurity-an increase of 27% last year.
Two-thirds (66%) of the leaders say that their cybersecurity team is aligned with the activity sectors, while almost half (43%) of the managers of cyber-resilient organizations report that they increase the commitment of the conference room in discussions related to resilience, against 37%of executives overall. In turn, 79% of cyber-resilient organizations claim that their adaptive approach to cybersecurity allows their business to take greater risks with innovation.
Additional key results include:
- 48% report must improve to defend itself against cyber adversaries powered by AI
- 41% of organizations say they experience a considerably higher volume of attacks
- 61% of cyber-resilient leaders have allocated a cybersecurity budget to new initiatives from the start, against 46% overall
- 53% of cyber-resilient organizations engage significant investments in the advanced threat detection
- 68% say that media reports of large-scale violations have high cybersecurity on the agenda C-Suite
The NivedBlue Futures report recommends four specific steps to best reach cyber-resilience: to push cyber-resilience in the organization, integrate cybersecurity responsibilities throughout the organization, be proactive (not reactive) and prioritize resilience in the software supply chain.
