Enterprise security is in the midst of a fundamental and necessary shift in direction. A significant reskilling movement is underway, but not everyone is fully aware of what is happening and why.
Of course, security teams adjust all the time to new threats. But increasingly they are also having to adapt the scope and complexity of security to the increasingly digital-driven businesses they support. The number of issues to consider is daunting and the pace can be overwhelming.
Hiring more analysts for your Cyber Defense Operations wouldn’t solve the problem, even if you could find them. Based on my own experience and discussions with hundreds of the world’s most complex organizations, I’ve found that through the intelligent application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), it’s possible to make good progress and get ahead of new threats.

HMRC recently provided guidance to Express.co.uk on scams purporting to be from the Revenue.
A spokesperson said: Criminals use a range of techniques in tax-related phone scams, including calling taxpayers and offering a bogus tax refund, or threatening them with arrest if they don’t immediately pay fictitious tax owed.
“These scams sometimes target the elderly and vulnerable. We are a well-known brand, which criminals abuse to add credibility to their scams.
“If someone calls, emails or texts claiming to be from HMRC, saying that you can claim financial help, are due a tax refund or owe tax, or asks for bank details, it might be a scam.
