Netskope weighs in as AI surge drives new CISO cybersecurity strategy
The rise of artificial intelligence has led to a much-needed rapid evolution of cybersecurity. It means a new CISO cybersecurity strategy being more comfortable with risk and seeking out better C-suite alignment, according to recent research from Netskope Inc.
There’s no question that AI investment is growing fast. It’s the first year that investment is actually flowing into projects, according to James Robinson (pictured), chief information security officer of Netskope.
James Robinson of Netskope talks with theCUBE about the new CISO cybersecurity strategy.
“We’re seeing that expansion of the ecosystem that’s meeting that demand, as all these projects now are starting to get kicked off inside of these organizations,” Robinson said. “With that, people are trying to figure out, what do we do with this data? How do we handle it? How do we leverage it?”
Robinson spoke with theCUBE Research’s Savannah Peterson at the Black Hat USA event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed cloud security challenges and how AI is driving a new CISO cybersecurity strategy.
A new CISO cybersecurity strategy, data pipelines and AI
When seeking to move forward, companies must look to build data pipelines. That means looking to put data in areas where one can actually get to it, according to Robinson.
“You have to be able to start having all your automations in place. I still even say, you’ve got to know what you’re going to automate,” he said. “You’ve still got to know what you’re going to apply AI to. We’re right at that early stage still.”
It’s crucial for organizations at CISOs to understand whether they’re a creator or whether they’re going to be an adopter and a user. Both involve different landscapes and lenses, according to Robinson.
“You have to look at your program and understand that piece of it,” he said. “If you’re going to be a creator, you have to have different guardrails in place. You have to approach the problem differently than being a technology consumer and using it for another type of benefit.”
