Dr. Ann Irvine (pictured left), Resilience’s chief data scientist, anticipates a major cyber incident involving an obscure company in the coming year. “In 2025, the biggest cyber incident will involve a company that most people haven’t even heard of before, and the impact will be devastating to a small group of companies – just like we saw with CDK Global this past summer,” she stated. This prediction underscores the ripple effects smaller, less-visible organisations can have on broader networks and industries.
