CISOs say the evolution of threat landscape demands proactive multi-layered approach to defence strategies.
At the dinner, the audience of mainly cyber security professionals and C-suite decision makers said threat actors are becoming more sophisticated and operate as legitimate businesses, making it more difficult for organisations to defend themselves. “They have to guard the parameter, large internal and external teams, external relationships, budgets, and more … the stakes have never been higher,” said Little.Little added that sophisticated attacks by hybrid quasi nation state groups on critical infrastructure can have severe real-world repercussions.
He added that cyber security 'is a team sport' and is the collective responsibility of everyone in the organisation.Cyber security professionals agree that cyber criminals continue to move threat vectors and are ready to apply emerging technology like AI and cloud in their arsenals.
