Gartner says the endlessly expanding digital footprint of modern organizations is introducing new security challenges. The pandemic response has accelerated hybrid work and the digitalization of business processes in the cloud. 

2022 showed us what sustained big game ransomware attacks, including multiple attacks on the digital supply chain, deeply embedded vulnerabilities, and increasing attacks on identity systems, can do to vulnerable organisations. 

When coupled with the shortage of skilled security staff at all levels, in almost any part of the world, you have to ask: how did we survive 2022, and can we thrive in 2023?

In today's PodChats for FutureCISO, we are joined by Omer Grossman, global chief information officer for CyberArk, to hopefully shed light on how we can architect security for an unknown future.

1.       You recently attended the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit (2023). From your perspective what is the key learning from the Summit? 

a.       What are the top 3 concerns pre-occupying CISOs, heads of security and CIOs?

2.       In 2023, has the role of the CISO changed much? Can you identify if any – the most significant change (priority) in the role in 2023 compared to previous years?

3.       As your role at CyberArk is an internal one, how do you work with the security team and the CISO, and the rest of the C-suite, and the Board when it comes to the security of CyberArk?

4.       AI is with us now (albeit still maturing) whereas quantum computing is still 5-10 years away. How are these two technologies impacting how cybersecurity technology and practices?

5.       Is there such a thing as futureproofed cybersecurity strategy?
