The AI Security Balancing Act: From Risk to Innovation

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.1

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. 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.2
