AI isn’t just enhancing #cybersecurity—it’s redefining it. From spotting threats faster to strengthening resilience, it’s becoming a core part of staying ahead. Richard Bergman explores how #AI can help organisations adapt, defend, and thrive. #EYcyber ey.com/en_nz/insights…

Cybersecurity adds a median US$36m in value to each major initiative it supports—yet only 13% of CISOs are consulted early. It’s time to close that gap. ICYMI: Technology Magazine  covered our latest EY study. 📷 technologymagazine.com/articles/ey-st… #Cybersecurity #CISO #Leadership #EYCyber

Agentic AI is moving faster than most risk frameworks can handle. Reid Blackman makes the case clearly in this Harvard Business Review piece. It’s not just about securing the tech. It’s about governance, training, and knowing when to intervene. hbr.org/2025/06/organi… #Cyber #AgenticAI

Legacy SIEMs can’t keep up with AI-powered threats. For FSOs, next-gen cloud-native security isn’t just smart—it’s essential. The risk is real. So is the urgency. #CyberSecurity #FinancialServices #NextGenSIEM ey.com/en_us/alliance…

Autonomous AI agents are already reshaping cyberattacks. Faster, adaptive, harder to trace. It’s not just about using AI in defence—it’s about preparing for how it’s used against us. #Cybersecurity #AI #AgenticAI weforum.org/stories/2025/0…

Agentic AI is helping orgs cut response time by 21%, consolidate tools, and save $1.7M a year—while improving outcomes. The best CISOs aren’t just automating. They’re enabling AI across the business, creating $36M in median value. More from our EY study: aibusiness.com/agentic-ai/age…

AI rollouts that ignore the human element are destined to stall. People teams must help lead! They understand culture, change, and how to build trust across generations. Secure adoption requires buy-in from everyone. #AI #Cybersecurity #FutureOfWork #EY ey.com/en_nz/insights…

DORA is more than compliance; it's about #cyber resilience for financial services. Boards must recognise it's a strategic imperative, not just a checklist. Resilient organisations are secure creators. Insights from EY. #DORA #EYCyber ey.com/en_ch/insights…

Risk can be priced. Radical uncertainty can’t. Scenario thinking isn’t prediction—it’s preparation. In cyber and beyond, leaders need to stretch their assumptions and plan for what doesn’t yet feel plausible. #Leadership #Cyber #ScenarioPlanning sloanreview.mit.edu/article/scenar…

India is setting the pace on #AI talent. EY’s new AI Academy in India trains leaders and teams for real-world GenAI adoption—already powering 50+ enterprise projects. A smart move: skills, strategy, and security must scale together. cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/artificia…

Most execs are focused on the wrong AI risks. Consumers aren’t worried about job loss—they care about misinformation, safety, and control. Cathy Cobey breaks it down in Technology Magazine: technologymagazine.com/news/ey-what-c… #AI #Cybersecurity #ResponsibleAI #DigitalTrust

AI is changing both sides of the security equation. One in four CISOs reports an AI-driven attack—likely an undercount. Enable transformation to stay ahead of risk. #EYCyber #Cybersecurity #AI #CISO cybersecuritydive.com/news/ai-securi…

Scepticism isn’t slowing AI down in ANZ—it’s making it better. EY research shows how pragmatic, cautious workforces are helping surface risks early and build stronger foundations for adoption. ey.com/en_au/insights…

Cyber threats don’t slow down during uncertainty. They multiply. New #EYCyber insights from EY Canada show how private businesses can stay resilient with an integrated assess–protect–respond strategy. Security has to move with the business. ey.com/en_ca/insights…

Cyber and physical systems are no longer separate. Converged risk needs converged thinking. Smart infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, critical ops — all demand new approaches to resilience. Strong perspective from Jaco Benadie: ey.com/en_my/insights…

Agentic AI is rising fast — but cybersecurity, privacy, and policy barriers remain. EY’s latest AI Pulse Survey reveals the gap between investment and adoption. Responsible AI starts with trust, people, and governance. ey.com/en_us/newsroom…

Boards don’t need static cyber metrics. They need risk-informed insights that show business impact, align with strategy, and track mitigation progress. Strong piece from Brian DePersiis on making cyber reporting matter: ey.com/en_us/insights…
