Insights from the World Economic Forum's Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 report

The Global Cybersecurity Outlook 20251, published by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture, highlights a widening gap in cyber resilience between SMEs and larger organizations.

  • Only 14% of organizations are confident they have the necessary people and skills to address cybersecurity challenges effectively.
  • Many SMEs lack the resources for robust cybersecurity, often relying on basic tools that leave them particularly vulnerable, especially within interconnected supply chains.
  • While 78% of private sector leaders believe that cyber and privacy regulations help reduce risk, 69% find these regulations overly complex or struggle with ensuring third-party compliance.
