Cybersecurity Strategies in a Dynamic Era

Whitepaper: Prioritise, Protect, Personalise: Cybersecurity Strategies in a Dynamic Era

In 2023, tech leaders from HotTopics' global community have found prioritising more challenging than ever. Amid global disruptions ranging from market volatility, evolving work structures, and climate-induced changes to AI's transformative impact, executives grapple with numerous complexities. Central to these considerations is cybersecurity, a realm that has expanded in significance and complexity.

This whitepaper addresses how the rapid changes brought about by factors like the Covid-19 pandemic and AI advancements have shifted the landscape of security. Notably, the role of the CISO has evolved; their mandate now extends beyond protection, requiring strategic prioritisation in alignment with the CIO and CEO, and a personalised approach to security tailored to an organisation's unique context.

Dive into this paper to understand these dynamics and the roadmap to effective cybersecurity in this multi-priority era in Partnership with CrowdStrike.
