• •There is a growing demand for managed security services and local capabilities to address regulatory and operational challenges.

In 2026, enterprises across Brazil, Germany, the U.K., Australia, and France are transitioning to proactive cybersecurity strategies in response to increasing threats, particularly from AI and quantum computing. Brazilian organizations are treating cybersecurity as a core business function, while German firms are seeking external partners for managed security services due to talent shortages and regulatory pressures. U.K. companies are focusing on measurable resilience and continuous assurance, driven by board demands for proof of readiness against AI-enabled threats. Australian enterprises emphasize local capabilities and practical AI risk management, while French firms are consolidating fragmented security initiatives to improve compliance and operational efficiency. This shift is marked by an emphasis on AI-assisted operations, continuous monitoring, and adapting to the evolving threat landscape.
