World Economic Forum (WEF)

International organization publishing the annual Global Cybersecurity Outlook — a senior-leader survey with disclosed methodology that complements IBM/Ponemon cost framing on the wiki.

Notable outputs

• Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 (reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Global_Cybersecurity_Outlook_2026.pdf) — Headline findings: 87% identify AI vulnerabilities as fastest-growing cyber risk; 94% say AI is the dominant change driver; ~33% lack any AI pre-deployment security review. Annual; senior-leader respondent base; methodology disclosed.

Why it matters for the wiki

WEF GCO is the canonical “what senior leaders think about cyber risk” survey at international scale. For a wiki citing IBM cost data, WEF provides the matching executive perception dimension — useful for D1 (Governance) and D9 (Operations) CMM evidence at L4+.
