Security Priorities for 2027

Make every security investment count in 2027

Frontier AI is accelerating cyber threats while creating new opportunities for defense. But with constrained budgets, expanding responsibilities and a rapidly evolving risk landscape, CISOs can't address every challenge at once. They need to know where to invest, what to do differently and how to demonstrate results.

WWT's Security Priorities for 2027 helps security leaders make those decisions with practical guidance informed by our experts' work across enterprise environments, the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) and Cyber Range.

Explore how to:

• Govern AI agents with confidence. Establish identity, authority and accountability as autonomous systems expand across the enterprise.
• Put post-quantum readiness into action. Prioritize cryptographic migration based on business risk and infrastructure dependencies.
• Secure AI from chip to cloud. Build security into the AI lifecycle and validate architectures before scaling.
• Make cyber resilience measurable. Quantify financial exposure and prove the ability to recover critical business services.
• Get ahead of emerging threats. Modernize security operations through proactive exposure reduction and governed, AI-driven remediation.

Each priority includes recommended actions and measures of success to help CISOs focus investments, demonstrate progress and strengthen enterprise security in 2027.
