Industries adapting to a digital landscape demands that cybersecurity risk management becomes more critical than ever with Google Cloud’s Kevin Mandia discussing the evolving role of the CISO in managing risks. The focus on cybersecurity intensifies while the rapid growth of AI is combined with complex cyber threats, pushing companies to rethink their security strategies. The role of the CISO is expanding to include not only traditional information security but also supply chain and data integrity. Companies need to be prepared for when a cyber incident occurs, emphasizing the need for resilience in the face of evolving digital threats.
There is a growing need for CISOs to advocate for their place at the leadership table. The role of the CISO is constantly changing, including supply chain and physical security. Mandia pointed out that too many companies do not yet have centralized control, which is a growing concern as more businesses integrate technology into their operations. The way companies manage their expanding security responsibilities has raised questions.
Regular tabletop exercises, where companies simulate a breach to test their disaster recovery plans, are important in ensuring resilience. People started becoming better after ransomware was introduced, focusing on how quickly an organisation could recover. Companies should have the ability to segment their assets, so that if someone has access or credentials, they cannot access everything, thus reducing the blast radius.
