Insights
DXC and Microsoft report shows strong Zero Trust adoption but low use of AI security tools, highlighting deployment gaps.
Zero Trust adoption correlates with incident reduction:
Adversary capabilities and AI motivate ongoing policy updates, noted by
DXC and Microsoft commissioned global research, which included interviews with over one hundred cybersecurity experts across four continents. Security threats are rising fast, with AI giving attackers new ways to outsmart defenses and exploit weaknesses. In this climate, the Zero Trust model isn't just a best practice, it's becoming an essential framework for safeguarding organizations against an ever-evolving threat landscape. The report found that
"Zero Trust is increasingly viewed as the standard going forward," said Dawn-Marie Vaughan, Global Offering Lead Cybersecurity, DXC. "As AI-driven threats accelerate, organizations must evaluate security holistically across identity, devices, networks, applications, and data. At DXC, we're helping customers embed Zero Trust into their culture and technology to safeguard operations. Our end-to-end expertise makes it possible to both defend against AI threats and harness secure AI in the same decisive motion."
Key findings from the report include:
-
66% of organizations cite legacy systems as their biggest challenge to Zero Trust adoption. -
72% of enterprises say new threats are their primary driver for continuously improving Zero Trust policies and practices. - More than
50% of organizations discovered unexpected value in Zero Trust's ability to improve user experience alongside security.
"Most enterprises already rely on Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 as the backbone of their IT environments," said Alex Simons, CVP, Microsoft Entra. "Building Zero Trust solutions alongside DXC extends that value, enabling tighter integration, simplified operations, and greater visibility and control. By consolidating around the Microsoft stack, organizations can reduce complexity, cut costs, and accelerate their Zero Trust journey."
The report underscores that Zero Trust is not a one-time implementation, but an ongoing journey requiring cultural change, continuous monitoring, and strong partnerships. DXC's cybersecurity experts emphasize that organizations should take a phased approach, starting with identity, while leveraging trusted partners to integrate, optimize, and manage Zero Trust architectures at scale.
