Hard to believe that 2024 is just around the corner

Where did this year go ?

I feel it was just Dec 2022 and I was writing down my goals for the coming year

This year could be called the Year of AI as the entire world went collectively insane over AI and its implications

Cybersecurity was no different as we had to adjust to a new world filled with GenAI content and general craziness

As we struggle to adjust to this new reality .. the amount of information being thrown at us can seem overwhelming !

Hence it is essential to drown out the noise and focus on the key areas

Here are 3 priorities I believe every CISO should be thinking about going into 2024

1 — Start thinking of Models instead of Products

“The Network Perimeter is gone”

“Machine Learning powered Threat Intel is needed”

“Zero Trust is the future”

The same old jargon is thrown about every year
