What do you think will be the biggest challenges and opportunities for cybersecurity leaders in the evolving digital landscape ?

The biggest challenges for cybersecurity leaders in the evolving digital landscape include managing the increasing complexity and sophistication of cyberthreats , ensuring data privacy amidst strict regulatory environments and addressing the cybersecurity skills gap .

Rapid technological advances , such as the proliferation and adoption of AI and Machine Learning , introduce new vulnerabilities and expand the attack surface . Some to keep in mind are :

1 . Ransomware continues to rise : Ransomware attacks reached worrying levels , affecting small businesses to large corporates . The importance of proactive security and robust back-ups is more evident than ever .

2 . Supply chain vulnerabilities : The digital supply chain has become a frequent target . Supply chain risk management is critical to prevent exploitation of breaches and ensure the integrity of products and services .

3 . Sophisticated phishing : Phishing techniques are becoming more sophisticated every year with AI , favouring social engineering and fooling even the most cautious users . Continuous education and awareness are essential to protect against these threats .

4 . IoT and connected devices : The rise of Internet-connected devices widens the attack surfaces . Security in the Internet of Things ( IoT ) is now crucial to prevent threats that could affect privacy and personal safety .

Opportunities lie in leveraging technologies such as AI , Blockchain and Quantum Computing to improve security measures , automate threat detection and improve incident response times . Balancing innovation with security , adapting to regulatory changes and cultivating cybersecurity talent will be critical for leaders navigating this landscape .

How do you stay on top of emerging cybersecurity technologies and decide which ones to integrate into your organisation ’ s security operations ?

Staying on top of emerging cybersecurity technologies involves continuous learning and active participation in the cybersecurity community .

This includes attending industry conferences , participating in webinars and workshops , subscribing to cybersecurity publications , and being part of professional networks and online forums .

In deciding which technologies to integrate into the security operations of the companies we work with , we conduct thorough assessments that consider factors such as the technology ’ s alignment with our security needs , its scalability , cost-effectiveness and compatibility with existing systems .

In addition , we consider the vendor ’ s reputation , ESG reporting , customer reviews and compliance with industry standards .

Can you share your vision for Digital Transformation within your organisation , specifically focusing on the role of cybersecurity and how you plan to achieve it ?

My vision for Digital Transformation within the organisation emphasises cybersecurity and cultural change as the fundamental elements , ensuring that innovation and business go hand in hand .

My primary goal is to integrate cybersecurity with as little friction as possible into all digital initiatives from the outset , rather than as an afterthought , to enable secure and resilient digital operations .

This involves adopting a ‘ security by design ’ approach when developing new digital services and products , a zero-trust policy or even a reorganisation of IT architecture ensuring they are built with robust security measures built in from the start .

Collaboration with stakeholders is key and on-going training for our team will ensure that cybersecurity considerations are integrated at every stage of our Digital Transformation journey , supporting the growth of the organisation while protecting its assets and stakeholders .

Regularly reviewing and adjusting priorities based on emerging threats and business needs will also help the team remain agile and responsive .
