73% of organisations said they apply robust, up-to-date protections for data, models and underlying infrastructure, outperforming AI leaders at 69%.

PwC Australia Advisory partner, Dr Gayan Benedict, said Australian businesses should capitalise on their security advantage by scaling up from a position of trust.
