A Global Study on AI Investment, Value, and Security Outcomes

Cybersecurity budgets are growing fast as organizations race to modernize with AI. But increased spending does not guarantee sustained support. As boards demand accountability, many security leaders are struggling to explain how AI investments translate into real business value.

Based on a multinational survey of 750 IT and security decision-makers across 12 countries, this report explores how organizations are funding AI-driven security transformation, where confidence is high, and where justification is breaking down.

• Why AI is both the top investment driver and the first on the chopping block
• Where security leaders struggle most to justify AI spend to boards and CFOs
• What metrics leaders need to defend AI investments long term
• Where AI is already delivering results, from threat detection to workforce productivity

It’s no secret that AI is reshaping security operations. The organizations that succeed will be the ones that can clearly connect AI adoption to business resilience, risk reduction, and measurable outcomes.
