What style of management philosophy do you employ with your current position ?
I prioritise hiring exceptionally talented individuals and empowering them to excel at their jobs . My key focus is ensuring that everyone is on the same page so we are not working at cross purposes . I invest a significant amount of effort into continually enhancing our talent pool throughout the organisation and ensuring everyone understands both our collective goals and the path towards achieving them . This may sound straightforward , but it requires substantial energy and attention – particularly as the organisation grows .
What do you think is the current hot technology talking point ?
The hot topic in technology right now is identity-related cybersecurity attacks , such as account takeovers , scams and fraud . We ’ re witnessing a significant increase in the frequency and sophistication of these attacks . Identity has become the frontline for everything online and as the world moves increasingly online , the potency of identity-related attacks grows . These attacks can have devastating consequences for both individuals and organisations . Generative AI is aiding cybercriminals in executing more refined identity-related attacks . Cybercriminals often quickly adopt new technologies as they don ’ t face the same regulatory and procedural constraints as large enterprises . Generative AI is a game-changer for them and many organisations have yet to acknowledge this fact . www . intelligentciso . com
