The cyber security landscape is evolving
0:02
at an alarming rate, presenting
0:03
unprecedented challenges. It's time for
0:06
a frank discussion about the harsh
0:07
realities facing our security teams and
0:12
Every technological leap from AI to
0:14
quantum computing is weaponized against
0:16
us. AIdriven attacks are surging with
0:19
87% of organizations experiencing them
0:21
last year. Quantum computing threatens
0:24
to break current cryptographic protocols
0:26
demanding immediate preparation.
0:28
Security leaders must set policies,
0:30
guard rails, and tools to prepare for
0:32
emerging cyber threats. Now, breaches
0:35
are no longer a matter of if, but when.
0:38
Despite our best efforts, 79% of
0:40
organizations suffered a cyber attack in
0:42
the past year. We must shift from
0:44
prevention only to a cyber resilience
0:46
mindset, accepting incidents are
0:50
The burden on security professionals is
0:52
immense, leading to significant burnout.
0:54
Chief information security officers face
0:56
immense stress with potential personal
0:58
liability under new SEC rules. This
1:02
pressure impacts decision quality and
1:04
team performance. While breaches can't
1:06
always be avoided, sisos should have a
1:08
strong incident response plan, secure
1:10
legal protection, maintain open
1:12
communication with leadership, and
1:14
follow proper disclosure procedures to
1:16
reduce personal liability.
1:18
Adding to the strain, insider threats
1:20
are on the rise. A staggering 83% of
1:23
organizations reported insider attacks
1:27
The cost of these incidents is
1:28
escalating, reaching 17.4 million per
1:32
attack. AI and machine learning systems
1:35
can detect insider threats by analyzing
1:37
behavior and conducting proactive threat
1:40
The cyber security workforce shortage
1:42
has grown to 4.8 million globally. More
1:45
critically, 90% of organizations report
1:48
severe skills gaps making us vulnerable.
1:51
This double whammy leaves organizations
1:53
illequipped to defend and respond. AI
1:56
can streamline manual tasks while
1:58
upskilling and internal hiring boost
1:59
workforce effectiveness.
2:02
We must leverage AI for automation and
2:04
prioritize upskilling existing staff.
2:06
Recruiting from within can also help
2:08
bridge these critical gaps.
2:11
These are not just statistics. They are
2:13
urgent calls for action. We must invest
2:15
in advanced defenses, foster cyber
2:17
resilience, automating as much of the
2:19
job as possible, and the most important,
2:21
act now to prepare and keep us safe from
