Cybersecurity is heading into another season of massive change. With the explosion of generative AI, new regulations and the continued increase of advanced attacks, CISOs must guide the enterprise safely through this next evolution. Add in economic uncertainty and the business's need to improve efficiencies, increase productivity and support business growth, and you have CISOs rising up to face their next big challenge.
Simply adding technology is not enough to increase speed and agility across the enterprise, and it certainly doesn't make the business more secure. In fact, it can open the enterprise up to unknown risks. CISOs must support and empower the business to securely invest in the right tools to maximise effectiveness and make faster, better and more secure decisions.
Securing AI, Automation and New Technology
- What goals does your company have around investing in AI and automation? What security challenges are you facing when it comes to those goals?
- What is your opinion on generative AI adoption and how do you effectively communicate your position to the CEO and the board?
- What business opportunities or threats does the increased use of generative AI pose? How do you assess organisational preparedness?
Navigating Legal and Compliance
- How are you moving toward a more cohesive, enterprise-wide security and compliance posture?
- How are you preparing for and navigating the updated regulations from the countries you operate in?
- How are you building a supportive working relationship with your legal team and regulators?
