As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) becomes increasingly critical in navigating the complex domain-based threats that emerge in an era driven by artificial intelligence and stringent regulations.

In a recent report titled “CISO Outlook 2025,” it is highlighted that domain and DNS vulnerabilities pose significant challenges to enterprise cybersecurity. The report, commissioned by CSC and based on insights from 300 cybersecurity leaders, reveals that a majority anticipate a surge in threat volumes in the near future, with emerging technologies like AI fueling the sophistication of cyber attacks.

One of the key concerns raised in the report is the shifting nature of threats, with formerly niche attack vectors such as domain generation algorithms (DGAs) and deepfakes now being adopted as mainstream tools by cybercriminals. These threats not only exploit technical vulnerabilities but also demand strategic attention at the board level.

The survey underscores that domain-related risks are at the forefront of CISOs’ worries, with issues like cybersquatting, DNS hijacking, and DDoS attacks ranking as the top threats. The integration of AI in cyber defense strategies presents a double-edged sword, enabling better threat monitoring while also empowering malicious actors to deploy sophisticated attacks.

Despite the escalating threat landscape, the report reveals a concerning gap in cybersecurity preparedness. Only a fraction of respondents expressed confidence in their ability to defend against domain-based threats, citing a lack of adequate tools and resources. Budget constraints further compound the challenge, with minimal increases in cybersecurity funding reported.

Mark Flegg, Senior Director of Technology at CSC, emphasizes the need for a proactive and strategic shift in cybersecurity approaches. The traditional reactive stance is deemed insufficient in the face of evolving threats, necessitating the adoption of multi-layered security frameworks that leverage AI and scale with the dynamic threat environment.

Looking ahead, the “CISO Outlook 2025” offers actionable insights for organizations to enhance governance, strengthen AI oversight, and fortify digital infrastructure against emerging threats. CSC, a trusted partner to global brands, remains committed to empowering clients to proactively address cybersecurity challenges and stay ahead of evolving risks.
