It is harder than ever to stay one step ahead of cybersecurity threats. New, more sophisticated adversaries — some operating autonomously and learning from generative AI models - are thriving in a landscape with multiple attack surfaces opened by hybrid and distributed work, cloud computing at scale, and the digitalization of everything. The stakes are high for CISOs.
"Secure Creators” are redefining cybersecurity in their industries. Secure Creators have fewer cyber incidents, were quicker to respond, and provided 1.5 to 2 times more positive impact on their organization in terms of value creation, innovation and responsiveness to market opportunities when compared to their lower-performing counterparts.
They accomplished this not by simply deploying the right technology, innovating effectively, communicating across their organizations and minimizing attack surfaces, but by executing each of those practices better than their peers.
Here are four actions CISOs can take to better prepare for today and tomorrow:
