Soaring investment in AI is already transforming industries and fundamentally changing the way we live, work and do business. In fact, according to NTT DATA’s Global GenAI Report, 95% of C-suite leaders say that GenAI is driving a new level of innovation in their organizations.
However, the increasing adoption of AI goes hand in hand with new and evolving cyberthreats, and AI-enhanced malicious attacks are a prominent emerging risk for organizations. Yet, only 24% of CISOs strongly agree that their organization has a robust framework for balancing risk with value creation. So it’s a fine balancing act.
Encouragingly, the vast majority of organizations plan to spend more on both AI and security. Our data shows nearly all C-suite executives (99%) are planning further GenAI investments until 2026, and 94% of the C-suite — including 95% of CIOs and CTOs — say GenAI has led, or will lead to, their organizations investing more in security. This guide aims to inform CISOs on how they can prepare their enterprises for a more secure and prosperous AI-driven future.
