Imagine building an LLM-powered assistant trained on your developer documentation and some internal guides to quickly help customers, reduce support workload, and improve user experience. Sounds great, right? But what if sensitive data, such as employee details or internal discussions, is included in the data used to train the LLM?

Today, Cato Networks published the 2025 Cato CTRL Threat Report. It is the inaugural annual threat report from Cato CTRL, the Cato Networks threat intelligence team. The key theme for this year’s report is artificial intelligence (AI), which reflects the current cybersecurity landscape where AI usage is skyrocketing among vendors—and threat actors. Within the report, we examine the security risks associated with LLMs and the increased adoption of AI applications within organizations in 2024.

In today’s fast-paced cybersecurity landscape, CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers) face an undeniable reality: they simply cannot oversee every detail of their security operations. With expanding attack surfaces, regulatory pressures, and the need for 24/7 vigilance, micromanagement is neither sustainable nor effective. Instead, modern CISOs must master the art of delegation while maintaining control—an intricate balancing act akin to a Michelin-starred chef running a high-end kitchen.

6G could be available by the end of the decade, which should decrease latency and connectivity speeds for users. However, these wireless networks present new cybersecurity challenges. What should industry professionals prepare for?

Managing Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) is one of the most daunting challenges for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) today. In 2024 alone, over 40,000 CVEs were issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), forcing security teams to sift through an overwhelming volume of threats. With hybrid, multi-cloud networks expanding in complexity, manually identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities have become an unsustainable burden.
