  • Capacity 报道,安永发现电信运营商的网络安全对快速演进的 AI 威胁“准备不足”;仅 59% 拥有稳健的 AI 风险方法论,而跨行业平均水平为 66%。
  • “无效的转型”和地缘政治风险在议程中上升,遗留系统切换关闭和供应链增加了运营风险。

发生了什么:安永将信任、AI和地缘政治列为头号风险

Capacity 总结了安永最新的《2026年电信业十大风险》报告:该行业对AI时代的网络威胁准备不足,而“隐私、安全和信任”仍是首要风险。安永指出,电信运营商在内部审计、AI道德政策和第三方认证等指标上落后于其他行业;仅59%的运营商报告拥有稳健的AI风险方法论(整体为66%)。预算限制(55%)、在网络安全与创新速度之间取得平衡(40%)以及首席信息安全官(CISO)参与有限(36%)加剧了差距。

安永还将“通过新技术进行的无效转型”提升,并将“不断变化的地缘政治环境”列入前五大风险,AI投资信号存在分歧:33%的电信运营商计划加速支出,32%正在重新考虑。遗留IT系统和网络切换关闭需要谨慎的风险管理,以避免服务中断和客户流失。 另见: 英国提出更严厉海底电缆惩罚措施.

为何重要

对于运营商而言,安永的清单凸显了日益扩大的执行差距:董事会希望借助AI提高效率,但控制措施、人才和治理却滞后。安永最新的电信报告描绘了一幅发人深省的图景。许多高管鼓吹AI的前景,但很少有人建立安全管理系统。控制措施滞后,专业知识薄弱,治理框架仍不完整。结果可想而知:数据泄露风险增加,公众信任下降。再加上地缘政治对数据和硬件的限制,运营商面临项目成本上升和回报放缓。

解决此问题需要少说多做,建立更多结构。在企业层面分配风险,保护网络安全预算不被削减,并设定切实的安全措施,如审计追踪、独立测试和公开进展跟踪。事件响应时间或RPKI合规性等硬指标远比营销口号更能说明准备情况。在这些指标出现之前,利益相关者将继续质疑转型是稳健的投资——还是只是另一种伪装的风险。
