Insight #1
Where should a CISO focus — on immediate threats, or on long-term security? The answer is “both.” A comprehensive cybersecurity strategy necessitates that CISOs allocate resources and planning for both immediate threats and long-term security posture enhancements. An unbalanced approach, favoring one over the other, often leads to heightened stress, inefficient operations, diminished performance metrics and an increased vulnerability to breaches.
Insight #2
While the traditional concept of security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) might be diminished (
per Gartner), the criticality of security automation remains undisputed. Security teams are intensifying their efforts to automate threat detection and incident response tasks to combat the escalating complexity and volume of modern cyberattacks.
Insight #3
The exploitation of human trust is a
timeless tactic employed by attackers. The shift toward remote work and technological advancements have not altered this fundamental truth; they've merely provided attackers with more sophisticated tools and more avenues to identify and manipulate their targets.
