📣 The lastest « Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023 » from IBM and Ponemon Institute is out. The average total cost of a data breach reached a record high of $4.45 million globally, according to the 2023 report 😲. Some key findings: ✔️Healthcare once again had the most expensive data breaches, costing $10.93 million on average. 💸 ✔️Extensive use of AI and automation reduced breach costs by $1.76 million compared to no use. 🤖 ✔️82% of breaches involved cloud environments, with hybrid cloud breaches costing $4.75 million on average. ☁️ ✔️More than half of organizations increased security spending following a breach, focusing on areas like incident response, training, and threat detection. 💡 The report outlines recommendations like adopting DevSecOps, strengthening data protection, and automating security processes. 🔐 As AI continues to advance, techniques like tensor networks show promise for enhancing machine learning models, and Multiverse Computing which specializes in tensor networks and was recently named one of CB Insights' top 100 most promising companies (#quantum AI), are leading the way in developing these advanced methods. The evolution of AI will be key for organizations looking to reduce breach costs and impacts. 📈

This survey of 209 CISOs found that 70% think they can reduce their cybersecurity team headcounts by leveraging AI tools. I'd love to see the raw data of this survey because this smell like BS. I recently surveyed 250 enterprises about network as a service (the report publishes next month). I asked them what they would do with freed up network engineering resources if they outsourced aspects of network operations to a NaaS provider. Only 28% foresaw reduced headcounts. Most told us they would allocate freed-up network engineering resources to critically understaffed projects, like cloud transformation, enterprise AI , and network refreshes. Technology teams are stretches so thin today. Any reduced operational overhead delivered by AI will be instantly soaked up by understaffed projects.

The Microsoft shared responsibility model is something we are all familiar with, however there is also a shared responsibility model for AI that is worth taking a look at. #CIO #CISO #IT #Business #security #ai https://lnkd.in/e9UteFzY

Not surprisingly, David Vellante's analysis into #security and #AI spending makes total sense from the discussions I am having with #endusers. AI is in the early stages with great #hype and #momentum but needs a clear use case that ties to their business. This is seen in the ETR (Enterprise Technology Research) survey data on adoption. Good and Bad actors will benefit from a security perspective. #perfectstorm

We live in a world where companies have found cost-effective ways of implementing AI to improve their business processes. Great. Amazing. Extraordinary. Money saved. Let’s throw a party. Here’s the catch. For generative AI to be effective, it requires data. Data relevant to the tasks that are being automated: like client-sensitive documents in the law firm world, intellectual property, and private internal business activity data. According to the ESG "State of Data Governance and Empowerment Report”, 77% of organizations store sensitive data in Multi-Cloud. We have a lot of data moving from businesses to the cloud and back, traversing multiple pathways that are misty, difficult to visualize. 42% of organizations say at least half of their data is shadow data. Data could accidentally be moving to clouds or data centers in other countries… because someone created a duplicate data store you didn't know about. Thereby putting you out of compliance and making you more susceptible to fines & data leaks from places that you didn’t even know existed. IBM Security's Guardium Data Security Posture Management platform will help cut through the mists of a multi cloud environment: 🏗 Build a comprehensive inventory of all sensitive known and unknown (shadow) data and monitor data flows across multiple clouds 🎯 Detect and remediate data vulnerabilities, suspicious movement, and compliance violations All on a platform that gets to work automatically and instantly... scanning your cloud(s) for sensitive data.

Sensitive data discovery features prominently among new project plans; container security leads new spending Our Information Security, Technology Roadmap 2023 study examines adoption, or plans for adoption, of various information security technologies and services, as well as spending plans for implemented security technologies. Information security managers are moving in multiple directions at once as funding for security continues to improve despite spending constraints elsewhere, and as project schedules get back on track following the disruptive rush to enable and secure remote work during the pandemic. They are rethinking security architecture in the wake of what is increasingly a hybrid work model (both remote and in-office) at scale, and the continued focus on zero-trust network access reflects that architectural shift. They are reckoning with the increased security requirements of operating in the cloud, including expanding funding for container security products. Security operations remains an issue with increasing help from managed security services, and if implementing and fully leveraging machine learning was a challenge, generative AI is around the corner as a potentially disruptive but assistive technology. https://ow.ly/c8N950PjvUk #InfoSec #CyberSecurity #IT

Data is central to evolving businesses, with 300M terabytes created daily. Cloud services revenue surpassed $500B in 2022, growing at 22.9%. The Economic Times recently collaborated with Elastic on an article that foresees the emergence of Generative AI. The article underscores the importance for companies to prioritize high-quality data handling to capitalize on emerging opportunities. Unlocking data dividend - suggests the right data enables large-scale innovation.
