PwC Security Chief Says AI Is Forcing a Rethink of Cyber Risk

Dark Reading · 10 Nov 2026

Key Takeaway Review your security risks whenever your business adopts a new AI tool, rather than assuming your existing safeguards still cover it.

As artificial intelligence changes how organisations operate, security leaders are being pushed to look at risk in a new way. In an interview with Dark Reading, PwC's James Shira discusses why security teams need to rethink their approach and adapt their strategies to keep pace.

The central message is that AI is moving quickly through the enterprise, and security practices built for earlier ways of working may no longer be enough. The source summary is brief and does not detail the specific measures Shira recommends, so the full interview is worth reading for his views on AI, robotics and what comes next for security.

For small businesses, the broader point is clear: new technology changes the risks a business faces, and security planning needs to be reviewed as that technology is adopted.
