Looking ahead to 2025, data governance and security are set to take centre stage as cyber threats grow and AI adoption accelerates. Here are some of TechNative predictions for the year ahead… ➡️ Ransomware continues to be a serious threat, especially to unstructured data, and with AI tools now mainstream, businesses must balance innovation with responsible data use. ➡️ One big shift will be the need for smarter data handling. IT teams will need to ensure secure, seamless access to data and build audit-ready workflows as more employees start using company data with AI tools. ➡️ Data governance for unstructured data is also evolving. Companies will focus on improving data visibility, classifying information, and automating workflows to protect sensitive data while making AI-ready datasets easily accessible. ➡️ Storage administrators will have a bigger role to play—blending data security with AI governance to guard against misuse and ransomware. Moving inactive data to secure, unchangeable storage will be a key strategy. As AI becomes even more integrated into business operations, companies will need smart, automated solutions to protect and manage their data. Judging by these predictions, it certainly seems striking the balance between security and innovation will be crucial to staying ahead in 2025. 🌠 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ex4FMr6e #AI #datasolutions #innovation #datasecurity
