Man mano che gli ambienti diventano più complessi e i potenziali attacchi più sofisticati, i dirigenti aziendali promuoveranno iniziative strategiche di resilienza informatica che mettano la continuità operativa e il Recovery dei dati in primo piano nelle misure di preparazione e sicurezza informatica.
It’s no longer enough to leave the cybersecurity decisions to the security team alone. Executive business leaders in 2024—both because of new regulations and best practices—must put cybersecurity expertise on their boards and make cyber resilience a common goal across all lines of business. The onus of these efforts isn’t only to thwart bad actors and avoid attacks, but it’s also to successfully recover from malicious actions with critical resources and data safe and secure from exploitation. With cyber resilience, business continuity becomes the primary goal.
Here we compile some of our executives’ thoughts on key focus areas in 2024 that will support and enable business leaders’ efforts to transform their approach to security to ultimately achieve true cyber resilience. Emerging technologies as well as business best practices will help ensure success with data recovery, business continuity, and cyber resilience.
La dirigenza aziendale punta sulla sicurezza
“When it comes to cyber preparedness, I expect the level of engagement by members of the C-suite, including the CEO, to go up in 2024. It has to.” – Rahul Pawar, Global Vice President, Security GTM and CTO
I dirigenti di alto livello cercheranno esperti di sicurezza da inserire nei propri consigli di amministrazione per orientare le decisioni aziendali sulla base delle migliori pratiche di sicurezza informatica. Non solo esistono nuove normative che richiedono una comunicazione tempestiva e accurata delle violazioni della sicurezza, ma la protezione e Recovery dei dati sono ormai considerati un fattore di differenziazione competitiva per le aziende.I dati di un sondaggio IDC mostrano that just 33% of senior executives are involved in current cyber preparedness initiatives and that must change. Fostering an environment where C-suite leaders participate in recovery exercises is also seen as key to preparedness. Equipping the board with holistic security intelligence will bring businesses closer to cyber resilience and show customers the company’s commitment to protecting data.
I team IT si coordinano e condividono le informazioni
“Any company that continues to operate in silos will find themselves at a serious disadvantage when they are attacked.” – Reza Morakabati, CIO
Man mano che il panorama delle minacce si espande e gli attacchi diventano più sofisticati, i vari settori dell’IT uniranno le forze per prevenire le intrusioni e accelerare il Recovery. La collaborazione tra i team delle operazioni IT (ITOps) e delle operazioni di sicurezza (SecOps) continuerà ad evolversi nel 2024, poiché qualsiasi azienda che continui a operare in silos si troverà in grave svantaggio in caso di attacco. Grazie alle informazioni provenienti dagli strumenti utilizzati dai reparti di rete, sicurezza, cloud e altri gruppi IT, i professionisti della sicurezza informatica potranno identificare più rapidamente i comportamenti anomali che costituiscono un indicatore precoce di un attacco. Abbattere i silos tra i team e definire obiettivi comuni per i professionisti IT renderà le aziende più resistenti agli attacchi e più veloci nel Recovery.
L’intelligenza artificiale e l’automazione accelerano la risposta in materia di sicurezza
“With AI comes quicker response times, better focused resources/reduced alert fatigue, and more time to focus on effective threat mitigation strategies – all benefits for a cybersecurity team that needs to see the full picture.” – Alex Janas, Field Security CTO
Generative AI took the world by storm in 2023, and this year, leaders will explore the use cases that would best move their business forward. In the realm of cybersecurity, AI represents proactive threat management and speedy response to attacks. Coupled with automation, GenAI can more quickly parse through myriad logs across systems and devices to identify attacks and kick off actions to prevent extensive damage and mitigate risks to key resources and data. While executives must explore the ethics of AI and put proper governance guardrails in place, the technology promises to reduce the noise for IT and security pros tracking alerts, events, and incidents, and to point toward the true source of concern more quickly.
Le minacce si evolvono man mano che anche i malintenzionati adottano l’intelligenza artificiale
“Attackers may even go so far as to run predictive modeling to understand the degree of impact or discover new parameters and techniques that lead to creating a new emerging threat.” – Alex Janas
GenAI advancements aren’t exclusive to the good guys. Bad actors with malicious plans will also tap the technology to discover vulnerable assets and innovative ways to exploit them. Using AI-driven analysis, cybercriminals will seek to impose maximum damage with minimal effort. Attackers may even go so far as to run predictive modeling to understand the degree of impact or discover new parameters and techniques that lead to creating a new emerging threat.
L’intelligenza artificiale si integra nelle competenze in materia di sicurezza
“Being the smartest person in the room will be table stakes, while knowing what you don’t know will be the killer skill of the future.” – Martha Delehanty, Chief People Officer
Cybersecurity always tops the list of hottest skills in technology, and for 2024, HR leaders and hiring managers will be most interested in candidates with diverse technological skill sets who can address everything from IT and security operations to AI management and data recovery. In the ransomware-era, with data security and incident response skills identified as a significant gap, there will continue to be a strong demand for CISOs and CIOs that can bridge together the worlds of ITOps and SecOps so that companies can ensure they are thinking about security all the way from protecting and identifying threats to full recovery. And despite the growing popularity of GenAI, human oversight will remain crucial, requiring companies to prioritize ongoing education and upskilling to ensure their teams can leverage AI technologies to their full potential while maintaining vigilance over their systems.
“I believe within the next several years we will see more compliance, security, and cybersecurity experts fill board seats, similar to financial experts that have long been recruited as necessary board members.” – Danielle Sheer, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer
Nel 2024, la resilienza informatica richiederà ai leader aziendali di cambiare il proprio approccio alla sicurezza e alla Recovery. Le tendenze sopra elencate, insieme ad altre, daranno impulso a una trasformazione che consentirà alle aziende non solo di prevenire in modo proattivo un numero maggiore di attacchi, ma, cosa ancora più importante, di riprendersi rapidamente quando una minaccia è imminente. Essere preparati e in grado di riprendersi dagli attacchi consentirà alla vostra azienda di distinguersi in questa era digitale, in cui la resilienza informatica diventa un requisito imprescindibile.
