FUTURE TECHNOLOGY

Growing regulatory landscape in 2025 will drive outcome-based compliance

We live in a world where there is ever-growing and new regulations such as the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act , DORA , which has taken effect on the 17th of January , reshaping cybersecurity and operational resilience in financial ecosystems . DORA will impose stricter requirements and also encourage resiliency in organisations , which will hopefully address the issues of securing insurance .

Organisations must be proactive in compliance building upon them to enhance customer experience and trust .
The positive consequence of this growing regulatory landscape is a shift toward outcome-based compliance , as current regulations are seen to focus on ticking boxes . This will ultimately lead to enhanced data security within sectors , and mitigated risk of major consequences from continuously scaling cyber-attacks .
In 2025 organisations must be proactive in compliance , treating regulatory requirements as a baseline and building upon them to enhance customer experience and trust .
We will also see more regulations coming out that have not yet been predicted . Companies should treat these regulations as the minimum requirement that guides the usage of technology and look to build on these requirements .

Maximising cybersecurity investments is not just about protection , it is about creating a positive , trust-driven experience for customers in the long term .
This year will be the breakout year for Artificial Intelligence . In 2024 AI had to navigate the trough of disillusionment as early excitement met the reality of limitations . However , as organisations rethink their strategies , this phase of setbacks will unlock new opportunities .
In 2025 AI is set to shift into the plateau of productivity : with refined AI models , scaled projects , and practical , high-impact applications . This will be a considerable shift in comparison to the toe-dipping and experimentation we have seen in 2024 . •
