ello and welcome

H to the latest edition of Intelligent CISO where we bring you a round-up of the global cybersecurity trends developing across the industry . We hear from various experts in their field who offer their best practice advice on hot topics of interest .

On the cover this issue , Steve Benton , BT Deputy CISO , GM Cyber and Physical Security Operations and Programmes , tells us how the global telecommunications company operates with full control over its complex IT estates .
Benton explains how the company functions in a way that aims to make cyberattacks worthless for those targeting the business and highlights the importance of ensuring all of BT ’ s circa 100,000 employees understand the behaviours they need to adopt to protect BT , as you ’ re only ever as secure as your weakest link .
On page 18 , we bring you a round-up of coverage from Qualys ’ recent QSC EMEA 2021 event , exploring how the company has adapted its own strategy to support customers with their cloud security objectives . We explore why organisations need an open , cloudbased platform to build security into their hybrid IT environments .
Our ‘ Editor ’ s Question ’ this month sees us ask the experts whether a
passwordless future will help us ensure effective cybersecurity . We explored this topic in a recent edition , but as the subject was so popular , we posed the question again and received responses from FIDO Alliance , WatchGuard Technologies , CyberArk , and Trustwave . Read more about this on page 27 .
We delve deeper into the subject of Zero Trust on page 41 as Vijay Babber , Channel Manager at Gigamon Middle East , explains why a Zero Trust model is important in this era of remote working and how the ecosystem can work together to ensure the model is in place .
For this month ’ s ‘ Go Phish ’ feature , we chat to Annybell Villarroel , Security Awareness & Culture Manager at Auth0 , to hear more about how she landed in her current role , and how she likes to relax and unwind outside the office .
I hope you enjoy this issue and if you ’ d like to contribute to any upcoming features , including case studies , please don ’ t hesitate to get in touch at alix @ lynchpinmedia . co . uk
