<h1>Cyber resilience risks from supply chain interdependencies drive calls for AI security assessment and public-private collaboration.</h1> Rising complexity in the cyber environment intensifies cyber inequity by creating asymmetric capabilities and risks; supply chain interdependencies are identified as a primary structural barrier to cyber resilience, while geopolitical tensions, regulatory fragmentation, and evolving threat vectors heighten concerns about cyber espionage and intellectual property compromise. The report warns that AI adoption outpaces security assurance, many organisations lack AI security assessment processes, and a widening cyber skills gap, uneven resources, and limited public-private coordination impede efforts to mitigate operational disruption and close the protection divide.
