Defending the digital economy

A Global Cyber Innovation Summit

Data powers the digital economy — but is it protected, verified, and trusted? As frontier AI, quantum computing, and sophisticated adversaries reshape the threat landscape, cybersecurity, data, and privacy leaders must work alongside government to safeguard what matters most.

What’s next in data?

PwC and Global Cyber Innovation Summit (GCIS) are bringing together cybersecurity, data, and privacy executives alongside government leaders for an exclusive half-day summit. The focus: candid, public-private conversation on the future of data — how we protect it, verify it, and trust it. Chatham House Rule applies.
