Cybersecurity as an essential task for decision-makers and managers
In 2025, cyber security will play a prominent role for companies and organisations in all sectors. Managers are increasingly coming to me with questions about protective measures, risk analyses and responses to attacks. They realise that efficient strategies and well thought-out cyber security processes are necessary to protect digital assets and data in the long term.
The rapid development of technologies and the increase in threats from cyber attacks require a rethink of security culture. Decision-makers are faced with the challenge of systematically supporting and optimising new aspects such as cloud security, AI-supported defence mechanisms and access management in addition to traditional IT topics. Many clients often speak of their uncertainty as to how cyber security projects can be realised in a targeted manner without disrupting business operations for too long.
Important fields of action for cyber security 2025
The area of cyber security in 2025 comprises several core components that decision-makers should pay close attention to. Working on these fields is not only technically demanding, but also requires interdisciplinary coordination and organisational skills.
A major focus is on protecting cloud infrastructures. Companies from the retail, financial services and industrial sectors are moving more and more critical data and applications to the cloud. Securing confidential access using modern solutions for identity and access management is the basis for digital sovereignty and availability.
In addition, the proactive management of security incidents and threats is becoming increasingly important. The rapid detection and response process in the event of attacks, especially ransomware attacks, is seen by managers as essential in order to minimise damage. Many clients report a high need for support in optimising processes and technical tools.
In addition, the focus is on compliance with legal requirements and standards. The EU Directive NIS-2 will lead to clearer requirements for securing IT and communication systems in 2025. Companies in the logistics, healthcare and manufacturing sectors will have to focus intensively on implementation in order to minimise liability risks.
Practical examples from various industries
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) Following a targeted risk analysis, a hybrid security concept consisting of cloud access management and extended incident response teams was introduced in the manufacturing industry. The management level actively supports a culture of vigilance, which has led to significantly shorter response times in the event of incidents and increased the reliability of production processes.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) A medium-sized financial services company accepted the challenges posed by new EU regulations in 2025 and organised several workshops with the management team. The client reports how these impulses helped to adapt internal processes and establish a compliance team for cybersecurity that will accompany the change in the long term.
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) In the field of IT services, one consultancy firm integrated the trends in artificial intelligence into its defence concept at an early stage. Managers regularly demonstrate their willingness to test innovative technologies and thus recognise threats automatically. This increases the efficiency of the teams and frees up valuable resources.
How transruption coaching helps with cyber security
When dealing with cyber security, we primarily support managers and decision-makers in strategically planning and implementing complex projects. The coaching provides targeted impetus in the prioritisation of measures and helps to maintain a balance between technical security and day-to-day business operations. Clients often report that our support helps them to realise their responsibility for digital risks more clearly and communicate better within the team.
It is not about promises of effectiveness or patent remedies, but about developing sustainable structures and processes that can be flexibly adapted to new threats. Experience shows that transparency in crisis management and regular exercise scenarios make the decisive difference. Coaching provides support in preparing such realistic exercises and stimulating targeted discussions.
Impetus and support for sustainable cyber security projects
Many managers would like specific help in selecting suitable security solutions and in involving stakeholders from IT, legal and management. The transruption coaching promotes the necessary exchange to recognise resistance at an early stage and shape innovative approaches together. We also provide support in the implementation of new regulatory requirements such as the NIS 2 Directive.
This gives companies more confidence in managing their IT security. Step by step, competences are developed that increase protection against cyber attacks in the long term and strengthen digital resilience.
My analysis
Cyber security will remain a top priority for managers in 2025. The range of topics, from cloud security and proactive threat management to legal compliance, shows just how complex the challenges are. Companies need reliable support that takes organisational and cultural aspects into account alongside technical implementation. transruption coaching deliberately positions itself as a partner for these complex projects and supports decision-makers with impetus, expertise and structure in order to successfully and sustainably organise cyber security projects.
