How is your organization leveraging integrated security strategies to address evolving threats in a dynamic risk landscape?
The evolving landscape of cyber and physical threats demands a paradigm shift in security strategy. With geopolitical tensions escalating, regulatory pressures mounting, and automation redefining operational workflows, enterprises can no longer rely on siloed defences.
Security teams need to embrace a converged security framework—one that integrates cybersecurity, operational technology (OT) security, and digital intelligence—to anticipate, adapt to, and neutralize emerging threats. This approach is especially crucial for industries dealing with critical infrastructure, transportation, and public safety, where security breaches can have systemic consequences. By aligning security with broader risk management strategies, organisations can transform security from a reactive function into a strategic enabler of resilience and business continuity.
Frost & Sullivan’s recent Security Growth Webinar on Top Mega Trends Shaping Commercial & Public Security Domain in 2025, provided key insights into the evolving security landscape. The session highlighted how enterprises can enhance resilience by adopting AI-driven risk intelligence, secure identity frameworks, and end-to-end value chain security. Our experts also explored cutting-edge threat mitigation strategies, regulatory shifts, and the role of integrated security frameworks in addressing emerging risks across commercial and public sectors.
The following experts provided valuable perspectives on industry trends, emerging threats, and growth opportunities:
Key Insights from the Webinar:
The growth webinar highlighted critical security challenges and emerging shifts that are transforming risk management approaches across industries. The following key areas were identified as pivotal in shaping security frameworks for the year ahead:
1. AI-Driven Risk Intelligence & Threat Mitigation
Risk intelligence platforms are evolving to provide deeper visibility into geopolitical shifts and localized threats, enabling organizations to stay ahead of emerging risks. By leveraging AI-driven real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and automated incident response, businesses can proactively strengthen their security posture and enhance operational resilience in an increasingly unpredictable environment.
Growth Focus: AI-enhanced cybersecurity, digital intelligence integration, and automated threat response systems.
2. Convergence of Cybersecurity and Physical Security
As security operations become more complex, integrating IT, OT, and digital identity systems is critical. The adoption of cyber-physical system (CPS) security frameworks is accelerating, particularly in industries like energy, manufacturing, and healthcare. Organizations would need to balance security resilience with compliance by implementing zero-trust models and continuous threat detection.
Growth Focus: CPS security adoption, IoT-driven risk management, and enhanced regulatory frameworks.

3. Secure Identity Frameworks & Access Management
The increasing demand for biometric authentication, cloud-based access control, and real-time anomaly detection highlights the need for stronger yet frictionless security. Converged identity security systems integrate these technologies to streamline access while reinforcing defences against identity-based threats, ensuring both seamless user experiences and robust protection in an evolving digital landscape.
Growth Focus: AI-powered identity verification, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regulatory-driven compliance solutions.
4. Automation & AI in Security Operations
Amid workforce shortages, security teams are turning to AI and automation to enhance operational efficiency. From incident prioritization to AI-powered surveillance drones, intelligent automation accelerates threat detection and response. AI-driven decision-making optimizes resource allocation, enabling faster, more precise security actions in an increasingly complex threat landscape
Growth Focus: AI in security automation, sensor-based monitoring, and autonomous security tools.
5. Emerging Regulations & Compliance Challenges
With new cybersecurity regulations such as NIS2 (EU), the Cyber Resilience Act (US), the AI Act (EU), and the US Cyber Trust Mark, organizations must prioritize compliance strategies. Zero-trust architectures, AI governance, and regulatory transparency will shape security frameworks moving forward.
Growth Focus: Compliance readiness, risk-aware AI implementation, and regulatory impact assessments.
