As cyber threats continue to escalate, driven by widespread cloud adoption and the emergence of AI-powered attacks, the industry struggles to keep pace. Based on to a 2025 PwC survey, although 77% of companies plan to increase their cybersecurity budgets this year, only 2% have reached organization-wide cyber resilience.
