As AI reshapes the cybersecurity landscape, it is becoming a powerful force in modern defense, redefining how organisations protect themselves. At a time when threat actors are using AI to amplify the speed, scale and sophistication of attacks, organisations have an opportunity to harness these same technologies to strengthen resilience and transition to an AI-enabled cybersecurity organisation.
From emerging technology to strategic necessity
In the latest report, the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with KPMG, explores critical insights for executives and chief information officers to consider for moving beyond experimentation to deploy AI as a core capability in modern cybersecurity defense. Drawing on 20 real-world case studies and personal insights from 105 representatives, 84 organisations and 15 industries, the report examines the growing emphasis of AI as a foundational security capability, and what CISOS should address on strategic priorities, organisational readiness, and deployment and scaling of pilots.
The report also underscores that AI’s value in cybersecurity is not defined by automation alone. The organisations that succeed invest in technology, skills, process and pair a clear AI deployment strategy with rigorously tested use cases before scaling, with strong governance and human oversight from the outset.
