In this episode Joyce Chang, Chair of Global Research, is joined by Amy Ho, Strategic Research, Brian Essex, Security Software Equity Research, J.P. Morgan's Global Chief Information Security Officer Pat Opet, and JF Legault, Deputy CISO and Global Technology Chief Control Manager to discuss the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. Cyber threats rank among the top five global risks, surpassing traditional economic concerns, yet preparedness remains low as cybercrime costs rise. This year’s survey highlights how advances in AI and hybrid networks are amplifying attack sophistication, while AI is also crucial for defense. Regulatory responses are fragmented, and quantum computing threatens to break current cryptographic standards by 2035. For more in-depth insights, please refer to our latest annual report J.P. Morgan Perspectives: Digital Future Under Threat: AI, Quantum and Geopolitical Cybersecurity Risks (https://www.jpmm.com/research/content/GPS-5136797-0).
