India is setting the pace on #AI talent. EY’s new AI Academy in India trains leaders and teams for real-world GenAI adoption—already powering 50+ enterprise projects. A smart move: skills, strategy, and security must scale together.

Phishing powered by AI is a $1T problem. This isn’t about vigilance—it’s about design. – Secure infrastructure.– AI for defence.– Shared responsibility. Cyber is infrastructure. Build like it. #CyberSecurity #AI #Phishing #DigitalTrust.

Risk can be priced. Radical uncertainty can’t. Scenario thinking isn’t prediction—it’s preparation. In cyber and beyond, leaders need to stretch their assumptions and plan for what doesn’t yet feel plausible. #Leadership #Cyber #ScenarioPlanning

DORA is more than compliance; it's about #cyber resilience for financial services. Boards must recognise it's a strategic imperative, not just a checklist. Resilient organisations are secure creators. Insights from EY. #DORA #EYCyber.

AI rollouts that ignore the human element are destined to stall. People teams must help lead! They understand culture, change, and how to build trust across generations. Secure adoption requires buy-in from everyone. #AI #Cybersecurity #FutureOfWork #EY.

EY US research shows cybersecurity is a top priority for state & local governments, even as AI adoption rises fast. Transformation must start with trust and resilience, not follow it. Insightful findings from the EY Center for Government Modernization:.

Autonomous AI agents are already reshaping cyberattacks. Faster, adaptive, harder to trace. It’s not just about using AI in defence—it’s about preparing for how it’s used against us. #Cybersecurity #AI #AgenticAI

Legacy SIEMs can’t keep up with AI-powered threats. For FSOs, next-gen cloud-native security isn’t just smart—it’s essential. The risk is real. So is the urgency. #CyberSecurity #FinancialServices #NextGenSIEM.

Agentic AI is moving faster than most risk frameworks can handle. Reid Blackman makes the case clearly in this @HarvardBiz piece. It’s not just about securing the tech. It’s about governance, training, and knowing when to intervene. #Cyber #AgenticAI.

Cybersecurity adds a median US$36m in value to each major initiative it supports—yet only 13% of CISOs are consulted early. It’s time to close that gap. ICYMI: @TechnologyMagBC  covered our latest EY study. 📷 #Cybersecurity #CISO #Leadership #EYCyber.

AI agents can now reason, adapt, and act. Both on your behalf and against it. We're not far from seeing cyberattacks executed at scale by autonomous systems. Defenders need to get ahead of it. Insightful read: #cyber #cyberstrategy #aiagents.

Too many boards think they’re ready for a cyber crisis, until one hits. #Cybersecurity must be seen as strategic, not just technical. That means investing & confronting bad news early. Smart boards act like stewards, not spectators. 🔗 @HarvardBiz

#AI adoption is rising—and so are the risks. From data leakage to prompt injection, securing LLMs is now mission-critical. Smart take from my EY colleague Mubin Shaikh on what organisations must do next:. #Cybersecurity #LLM #ResponsibleAI #EYCyber.

#AI is following a path we’ve seen before with cloud: rapid adoption, growing risk & a clear need for governance. Security isn’t just technical—it’s structural. Trust comes from knowing where data goes, who controls it & how it’s protected. #Cybersecurity.
