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.

Recent attacks targeting refrigerators and freezers have highlighted how vulnerable modern food systems and critical supply chains can be to cyber incidents, demonstrating the expanding reach of cyber risks across essential industries.
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.
