AI will drive cybersecurity investment in the next three years: "It will be harder to trust what we see or hear"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General1 September 2026 at 09:05

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way companies defend themselves from cyberattacks, but simultaneously it is giving new tools to attackers. The result is a technological race that promises to drastically boost investment in the sector.

The global market for AI applied to cybersecurity will grow from $28 billion in 2024 to $79.8 billion in 2029, almost triple in just five years.

This trend reflects the growing challenges that organizations face in an increasingly complex digital landscape, where technology offers both advanced defensive and offensive capabilities.

"AI can contribute to increasing productivity" in Portugal, says Adecco

A study by Adecco released this Tuesday reveals that three and a half years after the emergence of ChatGPT, the employment rate in the 38 OECD countries stands at 72.1%, close to historic highs, with approximately 1.3 million AI-related jobs having been created between 2023 and 2025. In Portugal, where an aging workforce and talent shortages are structural challenges, AI can contribute to increasing productivity and amplifying people's capabilities, freeing up time from repetitive tasks so that skills such as adaptability, critical thinking, creativity, and decision-making become more valuable. The study presents four scenarios for the next 10 years, ranging from a "Flourishing Economy" to "Deus Ex Machina," marked by high automation, with the latter considered the least likely.
