In a crowded cybersecurity landscape, organizations must prioritize the fundamentals to stay secure. Fortra’s Tyler Reguly explores the essential security measures that should be at the foundation of every cybersecurity strategy in 2025.
Vulnerability Management: Unpatched vulnerabilities remain a top cause of breaches, yet patching delays are increasing. Organizations need a robust vulnerability management program to stay ahead.
Security Awareness Training: With AI-powered phishing tactics on the rise, employees must be trained to recognize social engineering schemes and emerging threats.
Penetration Testing: Proactively identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them is critical for maintaining security.

It sounds too simple, but a focus on fundamentals is absolutely what’s needed at a time when AI is making it easier than ever for attackers to find vulnerabilities, dupe employees with social engineering, and rapidly find weaknesses in a network’s defense.”
