The article discusses the rapid evolution of cybersecurity, highlighting the challenges IT leaders face in keeping up with threats and technologies. With nation-states supporting cyber threat groups, concerns rise particularly around ransomware and emerging technologies like quantum computing. As AI becomes more integral to cybersecurity, experts emphasize the importance of data governance and awareness of data locations. Recorded during the RSAC conference, the conversation underscores the necessity for stronger, organized responses to the mounting complexity of cyber threats.
I do think one of the things that we're starting to see... is more interest in data governance, more interest in knowing and understanding where your data is, both inside your network and outside your network. And I've seen a lot of vendors talking about that now as they grapple with the reality that data theft is such a big part of ransomware attacks.
China has really talented hackers. They always have and they now have 30-plus years' experience with not just how to carry out attacks, but how to build the tools and how to develop the software and so on. So you can never discount that 30-year experience, what you can bring in.
So I don't know about good ways to go forward, but it does seem like a lot of what we're talking about now is putting more of the onus back on the state and local governments for defense. I actually think that's a bad idea.
