Infosec Europe 2025: Operationalizing Insight for Resilience and Control

This IDC Market Perspective highlights the 2025 Infosec Europe event, which took place in London in June against a backdrop of geopolitical instability and a ferocious, sophisticated cyberthreat landscape, with GenAI running through countless discussions as both a tool for security professionals and a weapon in the hands of threat actors. This report homes in on three key topics: living-off-the-land attacks, protecting the DNS, and securely managing identities and access."Infosec Europe 2025 delivered a hands-on platform for European security and risk professionals to dive deep into the most pertinent issues facing their organizations today, from the impact of geopolitics on the threat environment to the challenges of maintaining effective security operations in a highly dynamic environment. GenAI may not be a silver bullet for security, but mature implementations addressing key use cases are more and more prevalent. Agentic AI, post-quantum computing, and non-human identities are all rising up the CISO agenda." - Associate Research Director Mark Child, European Security, IDC.
