Gen AI having significant impact on Enterprise Cyber Preparedness

A recent PwC survey found that only about 2% of enterprises have effective cyber resilience actions across their organization, citing AI complexity as a major challenge in achieving cyber resilience.

• PwC's Cyber & Privacy Innovation Institute reports that Gen AI has introduced more complex and unpredictable attack vectors, making it harder to secure systems effectively.

• Their study found four cyber threats observed as most concerning by enterprises, including cloud-related threats, hack-and-leak operations, third-party breaches, and attacks on connected devices.

• More specifically, while 78% of organizations have increased their investment in Gen AI over the last 12 months, Gen AI has increased their attack surface over the last year.

• However, there is a noticeable divide within the C-suite over the intensity of the situation, with a gap in confidence between CISOs, CSOs, and CEOs regarding compliance with AI and resilience regulations.

• Less than half of CISOs are involved to a large extent in key business activities, which means fewer cybersecurity-driven business decisions, and only 15% of executives are able to measure the financial impact of cybersecurity risks to a significant extent.
