Axon is proud to have contributed to the Cyber Horizon 2025 report – a forward-looking exploration of the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Developed by the Future of Cybersecurity Knowledge Community under the leadership of SITE Saudi Arabia, the report features contributions from Axon Consulting Partner Jorge Martinez.
The report:
- Maps 20 emerging cyber shifts across political, societal, and economic domains, with time-to-maturity bands (1–3, 3–5, 5+ years).
- Calls for AI-specific cybersecurity directives, AI-driven defence, and anticipatory, coordinated resilience over reactive defence.
- Highlights Autonomy and Shutdown risks – interconnected autonomous systems in healthcare, finance, energy, and transport can escalate local failures into systemic shutdowns. Recommendations include pre-deployment safety certification, explainability and audit requirements, and human-in-the-loop governance.
- Introduces an Evidence-based Insight Engine – grounded in a survey of 870 global cybersecurity leaders, structured expert dialogues, and research – to turn signals into trends into actionable policy and operational levers.
- Emphasises workforce upskilling, early-warning indicators, and prioritisation of investments to strengthen national cyber capabilities.
This report is a practical tool for policymakers, CISOs, and national security leaders, linking risks to concrete actions and enabling a shift from reactive defence to anticipatory, coordinated resilience.
