For our first episode of the new year, we thought it would be appropriate to dig into some cybersecurity predictions.

First, we cover the very nature of predictions and why they're often so bad. To understand this, we get into logical fallacies and cognitive biases.

In the next segment, we cover some 2025 predictions we found on the Internet.

In the final segment, we discuss 2026, drop some of our own predictions, and talk about what we hope to see this year.
