FINAL WORD
Redefining
security for
the real-time
enterprise
in 2019
The number of cyberattack cases
hitting the headlines is relentless and it
is therefore crucial for an enterprise’s
technology procedures to be up to
scratch in order for CIOs to make relevant
business decisions. Ali Neil, Director
of International Security Solutions at
Verizon, discusses the current cyberthreat
environment and the re-think strategies
CIOs need to undertake to build a
successful security blueprint for 2019.
L
ast year was a year of digital acceleration, as new technologies
such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and next-gen cloud
moved into the realm of reality and started to radically
transform how business operations work. In particular, these
technologies enable real-time insights that are changing business
behaviours. Organisations are wanting to build a ‘Real-Time
Enterprise’ where they can make business decisions based on what
is happening right now, rather than what happened last week, or last
month – and this is particularly the case when it comes to security
strategies. So, what does this mean for how businesses will work with
their security providers?
Become a forward thinker with cyber intelligence
The first point to consider in the Real-Time Enterprise environment
is that businesses no longer have to be the unknowing victims
of cybercrime; there are now several tools at their disposal
