PwC’s 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights revealed significant gaps companies must bridge before achieving cyber resilience. With the attack surface continuing to expand through advances in AI, connected devices and cloud technologies and the regulatory environment in constant flux, achieving cyber resilience at an enterprise level is critical. By addressing these gaps and making cybersecurity a business priority, executives can bridge to a more secure future.

Executives clearly recognize the danger. Almost three-quarters (74%) of 168 executives recently surveyed by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services regard cyber risk as one of the top-three risks their company faces today, and 67% predict it will be a top three risk two years for now. Only half of respondents, however, say they are successful or very successful at generating insights and enabling informed decisions on cyber risk and at anticipating, preparing for, and responding to future cyber incidents.

The analysis in this report was conducted by the PwC Threat Intelligence practice, which is distributed across Australia, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States. It is based on our in-house intelligence datasets on cyberattacks and targeting from a wide variety of threat actors, intelligence gleaned from PwC’s incident response engagements around the world, and our managed threat hunting services, as well as publicly available information.

For 20 years, leaders have turned to PwC’s Global State of Information Security® Survey (GSISS) as a trusted resource to navigate the cyber risk landscape. Over time, that landscape has evolved to be less about “information security” and more about managing digital risk. As cybersecurity, privacy and data ethics become increasingly intertwined, organizations need a central place to turn for authoritative data and actionable advice. That is why we are rebooting GSISS to create Digital Trust Insights. This new platform will explore how to build confidence in the readiness of people, processes and technologies to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
