Security Insights in the Age of AI: In collaboration with IDC

Cybersecurity is no longer just a technology challenge. It’s a human and governance challenge.

In collaboration with IDC, we explore how organisations can close the cyber skills gap, mitigate human-centric threats, and strengthen data governance in the age of AI.

Logicalis in partnership with IDC

In this compelling collaboration with IDC, Logicalis unpacks the fast-changing cyber threat landscape, and the critical actions organisations must take now to stay resilient.

Covering the defining issues of cyber skills, human identities and AI security, this must-read research reveals a clear reality: cyber resilience can no longer be left to technology alone. It demands the right skills, stronger protection around the identities attackers target first, and the governance needed to secure AI as it moves into the heart of everyday operations.

Explore the three research pieces below to delve deeper into these themes and understand what they mean for your organisation.

From shortage to strength: Fixing the cyber skills gap

Cyberattacks are increasingly driven by human error and a growing shortage of skilled cybersecurity talent, leaving organisations exposed to costly breaches, operational disruption and delayed transformation.

As threats become more sophisticated and AI accelerates attacker capabilities, many CIOs are struggling to keep pace with limited in-house resources.

Human identities: Cybercriminals' easiest route into your organisation

IDC research shows that human identity remains the most exploited weakness in cybersecurity, with user-driven actions fueling the majority of ransomware attacks.

As AI enables attackers to scale these tactics faster than ever, organisations must rethink how they protect users, not just systems. The good news: with the right mix of controls, training and continuous monitoring, businesses can significantly reduce risk.

Securing Agentic AI: Why data governance is the new perimeter

AI adoption is accelerating faster than organisations can govern it, leaving CIOs exposed to growing risks around visibility, data security and control. With agentic AI set to scale rapidly, traditional oversight is no longer sufficient.

IDC’s latest guidance shows that embedding governance into identity, data access and system architecture is critical to scaling AI safely, while reducing shadow AI and enforcing consistent guardrails.
