Cybersecurity CEO @ CyberCX UK | 20+ years experience & successfully involved in two business exits.
Today, I joined our UK Chairman, Ciaran Martin, at the SANS Institute Cyber Leaders Summit, where he delivered a compelling keynote on "Thugs vs Thieves." Ciaran emphasised the growing threat of cyber criminals deploying disruptive attacks as an easier means to extort organisations. He warned that such tactics are increasingly being mirrored by hostile nation states aiming to orchestrate cyber chaos on a larger scale, reflecting a significant national security concern. Ciaran's insights invite us to engage in an urgent conversation about what we prioritise, our data or our business operations. Recent incidents, like the JLR breach, illustrate the broader economic implications of cyber threats. It highlights the necessity for a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity that extends beyond merely protecting data to ensuring overall business resilience. We must leverage digital transformation and the use AI to strengthen our defenses and collaboratively safeguard our businesses against both criminals and state-sponsored threats. The time to act is now.
