With over one hundred and fifty existing ransomware families, this popular breach form is expected to grow. Furthermore, the proliferation of AI is making ransomware increasingly complex, subtle and undetectable. The ISACA article on ‘Cybersecurity Trends to Watch in 2025’ suggested that organizations should “rethink how they detect ransomware” and invest in employee training to better detect threats and raise awareness (Rend, 2025). As companies and organizations transition to hybrid or remote offices, they have started implementing cloud services. Moreover, according to G2, a software review platform, 85% of organizations will be “cloud first” by 2025. implementing robust cloud security frameworks. Two strategies are suggested for making cloud services more secure: Zero Trust Architecture, “which assumes no user or device is trusted by default”, and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), which “consists of continuously monitoring cloud infrastructure to identify and remediate security risk and misconfigurations” (Rend 2025). As both sides are embracing AI in their practices, the use of AI remains a complex issue that is growing in power, popularity, and complexity. The governance of AI is expected to play a role in its execution. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Information technology — Artificial intelligence — Management system standard began to establish governance and the responsible management of AI systems. But there is a long road ahead when it comes to developing legislation around the use of AI. The article suggests that successful organizations would benefit from using AI-enhanced security tools, such as “AI-powered threat detection, and automated compliance monitoring” (Rend, 2025). “In 2025, organizations can look forward to many technological advancements. But these advancements will come with more ransomware, AI on both the attacker and defender sides of security, cyberwarfare, employee shortages, and more. As such, organizations must be vigilant and more proactive than ever in investing in security measures and putting safeguards first (Rend, 2025).” Click on the link below to learn more about AI’s role in future elections and retaining and attracting cybersecurity experts. https://lnkd.in/eux7rnBf Visit our website at www.fedhive.com or email us at info@fedhive.com to learn more on how FedHIVE can accelerate your FedRAMP High ATO journey.

As ransomware gangs continue to adapt and recover quickly from government crackdowns, officials are calling for intensified disruption efforts. Anne Neuberger, Deputy National Security Advisor for cyber and emerging technology, emphasized, “What we’ve observed is that there is no one operation that’s going to disrupt ransomware permanently.” She emphasized the need to increase both the frequency and scope of operations against these criminal networks. This discussion precedes the Counter Ransomware Initiative, a U.S.-created organization, summit, which gathers representatives from 68 countries to enhance collaborative strategies. The initiatives include a USAID-led counter-ransomware fund, victim support guidelines, and a dedicated platform for information sharing among member nations. Neuberger noted that as long as “victims keep paying ransoms, there’s always going to be a big incentive for gangs to stay in business.” Laura Galante, Director of the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center, reported a surge in ransomware attacks, with 4,506 incidents in 2023 alone and 2,321 in the first half of 2024. She mentioned that while disruption operations make it harder for gangs to operate smoothly, they still allow for rapid rebranding and reconstitution. The summit also welcomes 10 new members, including Argentina, Bahrain, Cameroon, Chad, Morocco, Hungary, the Philippines, Slovenia, Vanuatu and Vietnam underscoring a global commitment to combating ransomware.

With the ever-growing complexity of technology, outdated networks and systems are in desperate need of an overhaul, especially with cyberattacks advancing just as quickly. The answer? Cloud-managed networking. The outdated systems in government networks put data at risk of being targeted by hacks and other cyber threats. From the SolarWinds Public Sector Cybersecurity Survey, “66% of government IT operations and security decision makers reported that their IT environment is extremely or very complex to manage, exposing them to potential cyber risks and threats.” IT leaders in the Federal Government are already beginning to move towards a more secure cloud-based networking solutions following the guidance delineated in Executive Order 14028, issued in May of 2021, recommending to “modernize federal government cybersecurity, agencies should prioritize resources for the adoption and use of cloud technologies.” For many, “FedRAMP-compliant cloud-managed network solutions are seen as the best way forward.” FedRAMP-compliant cloud networks support a hybrid workforce allowing for more flexibility and adaptability, along with the necessary security requirements. “By deploying a zero-trust security model, agencies can mitigate risk with secure access across all environments, no matter where their workers are located”. It is also argued that FedRAMP-compliant cloud networks will improve operational efficiency “reducing IT effort and providing seamless, secure connectivity across touchpoints”. Leading cloud platforms can be centrally managed and new equipment can be added instantly. Overall, FedRAMP- compliant cloud networks accelerate IT modernization efforts. Government systems need to stay up to date with emerging technology while also maintaining a safe and secure network protected against growing risks of cyber threats.

FedHIVE believes that bringing a spotlight on data breaches, like the one below, shows the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures and the need for constant vigilance. ? On May 20th, Live Nation Entertainment discovered a data breach within its Ticketmaster unit which involved unauthorized activity in a third-party cloud database containing Ticketmaster data. ? According to several media sources, a cybercrime group named ShinyHunters said that they were the ones responsible for stealing data from over 500 million Ticketmaster customers, although, Live Nation did not confirm this group in its official filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). ? On May 27, a criminal actor reportedly offered alleged Ticketmaster user data for sale on the dark web. Live Nation did say in a statement, “We are working to mitigate risks to our users and the Company, and have notified and are cooperating with law enforcement, as appropriate, we are also notifying regulatory authorities and users with respect to unauthorized access to personal information.” Despite the breach, Live Nation stated that it is unlikely to have a material impact on its business or financials. The company continues to evaluate risks and remediation efforts. ? Live Nation and Ticketmaster are working diligently to resolve the issue and protect their customers.
