Hi friend,

Nearly every IT leader we’re working with right now has security and resilience on their mind. The threat landscape is so complex, and emerging technology moves so quickly that balancing comprehensiveness with agility is an ever-moving target.

It’s pressing teams to shift from strict, top-down approaches to a more dynamic operating model that can adapt along with threats, technology, and organizational needs.

With Q4 just weeks away, now’s a good time to facilitate this shift. Ask yourself and your team:

• Does our organization know much risk we're willing to accept to balance security investment against efficiency, productivity, and innovation?
• Does each department clearly understand its role in protecting data, our users and community, and the organization?
• How successful is our current cybersecurity awareness program? What changes can we make to design programming, policies, and guidelines that more successfully influence changes in employee behavior?

Answering these questions effectively now also requires understanding how AI is changing the balance of risk, investment, and agility. On our blog, we’ve put together a primer on AI and cybersecurity to help you see the risks, understand how attacks and defenses are changing, and turn awareness into action.

We look forward to helping, 

Chaz Hager,

President
