Cybersecurity is at a critical juncture, with organizations facing an evolving landscape of threats driven by geopolitical tensions and cybercriminal operations. Many businesses are still adapting to regulatory changes and are just starting to recognize the need for continuous security monitoring. Despite these challenges, advancements in cybersecurity technologies and frameworks are helping organizations strengthen their defenses.
The recent CISO Sydney 2025 conference gathered some of Australia’s leading cybersecurity experts to discuss emerging threats, trends, and best practices in the field. Among the attendees was 6clicks, represented by Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Lawrence, who shared his insights in an exclusive interview with AZK Media. Let’s take a closer look at his expert perspective on the cybersecurity landscape for 2025 and beyond.
The current landscape is characterized by the growing complexity and sophistication of cybersecurity threats, driven by geopolitical tensions and the growing capabilities of cybercriminal organizations. While AI presents numerous benefits, it also intensifies these threats, making cybersecurity more critical than ever.
However, there is reason for optimism. Governments and organizations are shifting away from traditional approaches like annual audits and penetration tests toward continuous compliance monitoring and testing. Organizations now have access to a wide array of sophisticated tools that can help them enhance their security posture without overburdening business operations. In 2025, we can expect to see a more refined implementation of AI in cybersecurity, moving beyond basic co-pilots to more advanced and transformative applications.
With regulatory pressure increasing globally, Andrew identified three key strategies for organizations to ensure compliance:
Understand requirements – Businesses must develop a deep understanding of relevant standards and regulations, including requirements in their own customer contracts, to meet them effectively.
Implement the right tools – Leveraging AI-powered solutions can help organizations efficiently map compliance frameworks, identify gaps and overlaps, and streamline processes.
Take compliance seriously – Rather than seeing regulations as a burden, organizations should embrace them as a structured framework to improve cybersecurity and operational efficiency.
Even in a highly competitive market, 6clicks sets itself apart by practicing what it preaches. Andrew emphasized that 6clicks was its own first customer, demonstrating full trust in its platform. The company has attained early certifications in key industry standards, including ISO 42001 for AI governance, ISO 27001 (2022 version) for information security, and UK Cyber Essentials compliance, showcasing its commitment to robust security and regulatory adherence.
