Irish Companies Lag in AI and Quantum Security Preparedness, PwC Survey Reveals

Irish organizations are increasing cybersecurity investments but remain uncertain about AI’s defensive value, according to PwC’s latest survey. While showing strengths in supply chain risk management and staff training, Ireland significantly trails global averages in quantum-resistant technology implementation as emerging threats loom.

Global Cybersecurity Landscape

Organizations worldwide are struggling to prepare for emerging cyberthreats from artificial intelligence and quantum computing, with less than half considered “very capable” of withstanding a major cyberattack, according to PwC’s 2026 Global Digital Trust Insights survey. The comprehensive research, which gathered responses from 4,000 business and technology executives across 72 countries including Ireland, reveals significant gaps in preparedness despite increasing recognition of digital risks.

Gene-Editing Nanoplatform Transforms Cancer Cells Into Vaccine Targets in Metastasis Breakthrough

Researchers have created a breakthrough gene-editing platform that reprograms cancer cells’ genetic tolerance to treatment. The technology transforms tumors into immunotherapy-responsive targets while creating durable immune memory against recurrence.

Gene-Editing Platform Overcomes Cancer Treatment Resistance

Scientists have developed a novel nanoplatform that uses CRISPR gene editing to transform how cancers respond to immunotherapy, according to reports published in Nature Biomedical Engineering. The technology targets haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a key enzyme that tumors use to develop resistance to reactive oxygen species, which are crucial components of many cancer treatments.
