Some 94% of cyber leaders identify AI as a defining force and 77% of organizations already use it in their cyber operations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AI has the potential to shift the balance towards defenders,&#8221; said Akshay Joshi, Head of the Centre for Cybersecurity, World Economic Forum. &#8220;Organizations that treat it as a strategic capability, rather than a standalone tool, will be better placed to turn growing cyber risk into resilience and competitive advantage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Building on the Forum&#8217;s 2025 publication,  Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity: Balancing Risks and Rewards , the 2026 edition focuses on how organizations are deploying AI for defence in practice. As enterprise attack surfaces expand to include hundreds of thousands of internet-facing assets, the scale and complexity of cyber risk are increasing significantly. Among the examples featured, KPMG reports a 25% increase in operational efficiency in threat intelligence, Accenture cut security analysis time in more than 100,000 internet-facing sites from 15 minutes to under one minute, and IBM&#8217;s ATOM platform helps scale global 24&#215;7 threat detection and response, automating more than 850 analyst hours a month and cutting end-to-end investigation time by 37%.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Attackers are moving faster and at greater scale than ever before. This report is a call to action for organizations to match that pace,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miragenews.com\/ai-boosts-cybersecurity-offers-competitive-edge-1666812\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI Boosts Cybersecurity, Offers Competitive Edge 4 May https:\/\/www.miragenews.com\/ai-boosts-cybersecurity-offers-competitive-edge-1666812\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-04 06:10:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":238855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/assets.weforum.org\/article\/image\/QbOHcI2njzUU1kDRukP8gc9Q1swVG6iKwP2inP9LKQM.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57,27],"class_list":["post-238854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238854"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":238856,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238854\/revisions\/238856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
