Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.



2022 was a difficult year for enterprise security, with the Russia-Ukraine war emboldening cybercriminals and ransomware-as-a-service beginning to thrive. Unfortunately, the Global Cyber Security Outlook 2023 from the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Accenture anticipates that the threat landscape could be getting worse.


WEF’s and Accenture’s research found that 86% of business leaders and 93% of cyberleaders believe that global geopolitical instability is likely to lead to a catastrophic cyberevent in the next two years. 

In addition, the report found that geopolitical uncertainty was forcing organizations to adjust where they invest, with 49% of business leaders and cyberleaders claiming they would “re-evaluate the countries in which their organization does business” in response to geopolitical risk.
