In today’s hyper-connected world, cybersecurity is the foundation for trust, growth and resilience. It’s not just an IT issue—it’s a shared responsibility across every role and function within an organisation. As the cyber landscape grows more complex, businesses need a strategic ally that deeply understands their challenges and the opportunities ahead.

“Who handles cyber and privacy at your enterprise? If your answer is, ‘Everyone,’ you're on the right track.”

Cybersecurity in action

From the boardroom to the breakroom, cybersecurity and privacy are everyone’s business. Learn more about the most pressing questions on staying ahead of threats, leveraging innovation and building resilience in today’s dynamic cyber landscape.

Innovation that protects and empowers

Innovation fuels growth but introduces new challenges that require careful navigation. According to PwC’s 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights survey, organisations are leveraging technologies like generative AI, quantum computing and Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) to stay ahead of emerging threats. 

Generative AI enhances threat detection and response capabilities but also increases the attack surface, as noted by 67% of security leaders. Quantum computing presents transformative possibilities while demanding a rethink of cryptography and security strategies. CRQ provides actionable insights for prioritising investments and strengthening resilience, yet adoption remains uneven, with significant room for growth.

How we can help

We help organisations understand where they are today in relation to emerging trends and work closely with our global alliances-- leading technology providers and cloud hyperscalers -- to deliver innovative solutions tailored to your organisation’s needs.   

Our team includes technical specialists and thought leaders who guide you in adopting these transformative technologies responsibly. From developing AI-driven threat detection capabilities to addressing the cryptographic challenges of quantum computing, PwC helps you use the power of emerging technologies into a source of resilience and competitive advantage.

Outsmart the adversaries

Today’s cyber threat landscape is increasingly unpredictable, with cloud-related threats, hack-and-leak operations and third-party breaches topping the list of concerns for security executives, according to PwC’s 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights survey. Alarmingly, organisations feel least prepared to address the threats they find most concerning.   

As the attack surface expands with technologies like AI, connected devices and cloud platforms, staying ahead requires strategic investments, cross-functional collaboration and real-time response capabilities.

How we can help

PwC’s global cyber threat intelligence capabilities enable you to stay ahead of the evolving cyber threat landscape. We provide timely, tactical and strategic insights into emerging threats, supported by a team of former law enforcement officials, intelligence experts, and cyber specialists. Whether you need a threat modeling program, real-time intelligence or a maturity assessment, PwC helps your organisation identify, prioritise and respond to adversaries effectively. By leveraging our alliances with leading technology providers and our global cyber network, we help you build proactive defenses and create a resilient organisation ready to counter even the most sophisticated threats.

Stay ahead of the regulatory curve

Regulatory compliance is evolving rapidly, reshaping the way organisations approach cybersecurity and privacy. According to the PwC 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights survey, there’s a significant difference between CEO and CISO/CSO confidence in their ability to comply with these regulations. The survey found a 13% point gap in confidence between CISOs/CSOs and CEOs in their AI and resilience compliance. 

How we can help

We work with organisations to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity regulations with ease and confidence. Our global team, including former regulators and industry leaders, can help with the evolving demands of regulation like NIS2, DORA, Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act and SEC disclosure rules. By aligning your cybersecurity strategies and frameworks with global standards, we help you stay ahead of regulatory challenges while safeguarding trust and ensuring operational resilience
