While AI enables greater efficiency, innovation, and automation, it also provides hostile actors with powerful new tools to conduct attacks more effectively and on a much larger scale than before. Cyberattacks are nowadays targeting large and well-established institutions, putting sensitive client data and critical information at risk.

Cyber defense and security stand at a pivotal moment, driven by escalating threats and increasing global defense commitments. Our “Vontobel Cyber Defense and Security Index” is built around six critical sub themes, allowing a comprehensive exposure to this dynamic sector. More information in the presentation.
