New threats emerge daily to define complex enterprise challenges in today’s rapidly
advancing technological environment. If you do not consider yourself ‘tech-savvy,’ it can be
tempting as you will keep guessing about the latest threats and ways to combat them. But the
reality is that there are several ways to make a difference in enterprise security.
Data threats follow an enterprise into a secured area to access protected areas. Security
leaders are aware of the surroundings when accessing sensitive information on the computer
to prevent users from gaining access to sensitive data they should not have. Attacks can be in
the form of “Nigerian Prince” style phishing emails or “Spear Phishing” or “Whaling,”
which is directed toward the top-level executives, officials, and organizations.
While security leaders insist on increasing security efforts, often, it is not until a breach
occurs that a business becomes willing to invest resources into security. Even if you know the
financial impact a security breach can have on the organization, they fail to realize the true
cost of a breach. No business is exempt from attack; security breaches impact large and small
organizations.
Everyone can implement one of the most straightforward fixes here to have a security leader
at the helm. Having a security leader in the organization secures the networks, data, devices,
and identities of employees to keep up with the latest technologies. More and more
organizations recognize the value of security threats, increasing the value of the security
leader.
Even though you have all the tools and technologies, a security leader can share his creativity
and valuable inputs and handle any difficult situation. After all, to handle the organization’s
security management, you need a team to brainstorm and solve the problems together.
Security leaders continue to build a security team and protect the organization and the clients.
Security leaders are changing the business scenario, are accustomed to adding technological
tools, and do their best to secure the organization with their knowledge and experience. As a
result, CIO LOOK comes up with its upcoming edition - “The 10 Most Iconic Leaders in
Enterprise Security, 2022.” Through this edition, we feature the business stories of such
security leaders who fill the gaps that organizations fail to fill.
On the cover of this edition is Ben Tan, Managing Director and Founder of BT Cyber Pty
Ltd. As a leading Cyber Security Expert in Australia and New Zealand, Ben helps
organizations in the financial, insurance and manufacturing sectors defend their networks to
mitigate the risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches.
