Earlier on April 24, PwC launched an AI-driven unified detection-and-response managed security service, enabled by Google Security Operations. This offering, targeting smaller and mid-sized enterprises for cybersecurity, builds on PwC’s three-year, $400 million collaboration investment with Google Cloud to modernize cybersecurity operations, which was unveiled in January. Also on April 24, a 2026 PwC global survey revealed that 56% of companies have yet to realize measurable financial returns from their artificial intelligence initiatives, despite substantial investment.
