(KPMG) With ongoing geopolitical tensions and recent high-profile cyber-attacks front of mind, cybersecurity emerged as the number one priority for large increases in investment over the next 12 months, according to the KPMG Global Tech Report 2026, which gains insight on priorities from tech executives across the world, including 151 in the UK. More than half of UK organisations (57 per cent) reported they are planning on increasing their budget for cybersecurity by more than 10 per cent over the next 12 months. Globally, only 41 per cent are planning to increase their cybersecurity budget by the same amount, signalling greater emphasis on cybersecurity in the UK.
