There’s a problem with cybersecurity as we know it 

Investing in cybersecurity is a no-brainer. That’s why you’re already doing it, like most large and mid-sized businesses across the UK. So why did almost 3 in 4 of them report a breach or attack in a recent 12-month period costing anything from thousands to millions of pounds? 

The answer is simple: complexity

Just like you, these businesses have done the right thing year on year. They’ve intelligently invested in solutions that shut down vulnerabilities across their ever-expanding edge created by vital cloud, AI, IoT and hybrid working approaches. 

And just like you, they’re now left trying to survive in an AI-super-charged threat landscape using a patchwork of tactical IT tools built for another age.  

Cybersecurity must evolve and CDW and Palo Alto Networks are leading the way, together offering you a transformative approach that's unrivalled in the market.

Growing threats. spiralling cost. What if security could be strategic instead?

Does this feel familiar?

  • Your expanding digital edge is driving an explosion in vulnerabilities that you can’t identify or close quickly enough.

  • At the same time, increasingly complex manual IT administration leaves you trying to manage both spiralling cost and spiralling risk.

  • Multiple solutions and work arounds mean your people need to navigate frustrating security processes with their personal devices locked out.  

  • It takes ever longer and costs ever more to adopt new technologies to support your business goals and initiatives, meaning innovation suffers.

Why the Browser and AI Are Reshaping Cyber Risk

By the end of this guide, you will have a clearer view of how everyday tools — especially the browser and rapidly adopted AI services — are creating a new area of exposure that many organisations have not yet addressed.

You will:

  • Understand why the browser has become central to modern work and how this shift changes the way you should think about security.

  • Recognise where new security risks are emerging as AI tools introduce new patterns of data movement and user behaviour.

  • Learn a simple framework for thinking about browser security that helps you make sense of a fast‑moving landscape.

  • Identify practical questions to ask your team so you can uncover blind spots and start the right conversations.

  • Know the next step if you want to explore improvements in your environment with a clear sense of direction.

The aim is not to overwhelm you with technical detail. It is to help you step back, see the bigger picture and move forward with confidence.
