The Humble CISO 2023
Medium – Dr. Sybe Izaak Rispens
The key points are:
– 2023 was a humbling year for cybersecurity with four major trends – generative AI, supply chain attacks, regulatory lag, and geopolitical risks.
– Generative AI significantly increased attackers’ capabilities while also posing new risks like data leakage and AI-powered attacks.
– Major supply chain attacks like MOVEit compromised over 2,300 organizations, highlighting this growing threat vector.
– Regulatory actions held CISOs personally liable but may widen gaps and have unintended consequences.
– Geopolitical risks increased dependence on vendors and possibility of disruptive wiper attacks.
– People and culture are critical to manage these complex risks through practices like generative cultures, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
– References are provided for the costs of breaches, supply chain attacks statistics, key reports on trends, and research on team performance.
– Looking ahead, vigilance and proactive security will be needed to address evolving threats from these major trends in 2023\)
