Cybersecurity leaders cite AI threats as main defense gap
Cybersecurity and business leaders say attacks on AI systems are now the area where they feel least prepared. A PwC survey of nearly 4,000 organizations found over half see adversarial AI as the leading cyber defense gap, with uncertainty over who’s responsible for managing those risks. Most haven’t fully rolled out core data security policies. Despite this, budgets for AI-related cyber defense are rising, and many hope AI tools will help fill skills shortages.
- 52% cite adversarial AI as top defense gap
- No consensus on who owns AI risk management
- Only about half use full data loss prevention policies
- AI training seen as key to closing skills gaps
- More security leaders expect higher cyber budgets
