• What are the biggest cloud security challenges CISOs are facing today, and how are those evolving?
• Given the rapid change of pace in emerging tech, such as what we’ve seen in the last year or so with gen AI, how do you balance the need to address short-term or imminent issues vs those that are long-term or emergent risks?
• What advice do you have for how CISOs can communicate the importance of anticipating threats to their boards and executives?
• So, how to be a forward looking and strategic yet not veer into dreaming, paranoia and imaginary risks? How to be futuristic yet realistic?
