PodChats for FutureCISO: The next evolution of cybersecurity
Manage episode 401226760 series 2912947
The Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2024 paints a grim picture: there is a growing inequity between cyber-resilient organisations and those that are not. Among 120 executives attending the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting on cybersecurity, fewer than one in 10 respondents believe that in the next two years, generative AI will give an advantage to defenders over attackers.
It doesn’t help that cyber-skills and talent shortages continue to widen, with 52% of public organisations citing this lack of talent and resources as the biggest challenge when designing for cyber resilience.
In the race to develop the next generation of tools and techniques, FutureCISO spoke to Gil Shwed, founder and CEO, of Check Point Software Technologies, for his thoughts on the next evolution of cybersecurity.
