Company number 8096230 5 Burnside Court Leominster Enterprise Park Herefordshire HR6 0LX | Issue 22 H ello and welcome to the latest edition of Intelligent CISO – my first as Editor. I have now taken over from my former colleague, Jess Phillips, and have undoubtedly had big boots to fill! Once again, we delve into the latest tech trends and get our first glimpse into how this new year is shaping up, with some saying that 2020 is the time to shine for Artificial Intelligence, while business leaders are discovering smarter ways to tackle cyberthreats. On the cover this month is Giandomenico Oldano, Director of IT Operations for RCS MediaGroup. In the case study, we take a look at how workforce productivity is a key contributor to excelling in today’s modern world as enterprises relentlessly search for efficient approaches to reduce downtime and loss of productivity. Making sure the system is protected against cyberattacks was an essential focus for the group and ultimately, a critical requirement for guaranteeing secure access for its employees. In this issue’s ‘Cybertrends’ feature, we consider an insightful report that explores some of the cyber-risks associated with new technology to become mainstream in 2020. Infosecurity Europe’s CISO community highlight the trends they expect to take hold this new year and the areas of technology we should be prioritising as hackers become smarter in their approach. In our ‘Editor’s Question’, cybersecurity experts respond to what best practice approach businesses should take to password security. We hear what Riaan Badenhorst, General Manager of Kaspersky in Africa; Rajesh Ganesan, Vice President at ManageEngine; and Chris Kubic, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Fidelis Cybersecurity, have to say on the matter. To round off this issue, we ‘Go Phish’ with Vanessa Pegueros, Chief Trust and Security Officer – OneLogin, to hear how she likes to relax and unwind outside the office.
