Our new independent research reveals that despite the vast majority (85%) of cyber risk owners feeling confident in the success of their AI policies, only one in three (34%) of employees are aware any guidance exists.

“Our research this year has investigated the cyber resilience landscape in the UK and drilled down into how AI is set to impact UK businesses’ cyber defences.

What’s clear is that the fragmentation of technology, which encompasses this year’s stratospheric rise of AI, hasn’t helped when it comes to building cyber resilience. In fact, AI could be about to unravel everything that’s been so hard fought for, putting UK businesses at risk. The need for ongoing education and training in this field will be pivotal in the months and years ahead.”
