According to the Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026, AI is anticipated to be the most significant driver of change in cybersecurity in the year ahead, according to 94% of survey respondents.
The World Economic Forum "Cyber Frontiers" initiative convenes a global multistakeholder community of senior cyber and AI executives to explore how AI is impacting cybersecurity, and how to securely scale AI adoption as the technology evolves and reshapes the digital landscape.
The increasing use of agents and expansion of the attack surface demands appropriate cybersecurity measures.



We drive impact by fostering multistakeholder collaboration, identifying and sharing solutions and guidance on how to securely scale adoption across the ecosystem as the technology evolves and reshapes the threat landscape for both attackers and defenders.

In the next decade, companies will be defined by their AI strategy: innovators will succeed, while resistors will vanish. Today’s chief information security officers (CISOs) play a critical role in this journey, and must move from blocking the use of AI, to enabling it. But with the technology still in its infancy, the lack of understanding around AI has the potential to shift the balance of power to threat actors. The only viable defence is fighting AI with AI – developing personalized, adaptive security approaches that can protect an organization at speed and at scale.
