In particular, healthcare breaches averaged $7.42 million per incident and took the longest to identify and contain. These costs are occurring at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) systems are expanding the number of human and machine actors interacting with sensitive data.<\/p>\n<p>Costs matter, but so do frameworks. One of today\u2019s dominant cybersecurity frameworks is Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Moving beyond the older &#8220;castle-and-moat&#8221; assumption that actors inside an organization&#8217;s network perimeter are inherently trustworthy, ZTA is based on continuous verification of users, devices, applications and workloads. <\/p>\n<p>While ZTA can require significant upfront investment, the IBM-Ponemon research has shown these kinds of stronger identity-centric security controls and faster breach containment can help lower breach costs. <\/p>\n<p>And so zero trust has become a foundational architectural response to cloud and identity-centric security challenges. But what happens when the tools an organization uses to protect identity, devices, networks and applications fail and data moves beyond its intended boundaries? <\/p>\n<p>This is an increasingly plausible scenario in the AI era and it points to the need for data-centric controls that protect sensitive information even after it leaves the environments where access was granted.<\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"chakra-heading wef-1r3kzwi\">Growing&#8230;<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2026\/06\/update-data-privacy-tools-cybersecurity-risk-ai-era\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cutting cyber risk in an AI era &#8211; and data privacy&#8217;s role https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2026\/06\/update-data-privacy-tools-cybersecurity-risk-ai-era\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":273851,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/assets.weforum.org\/article\/image\/responsive_large_XRq8C-HBrWCS1wkww0euoNMdLv2uIHI2lldK5OJI1RE.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,30,57],"class_list":["post-273848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-breach","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273848"}],"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=273848"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273848\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273853,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273848\/revisions\/273853"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
